As heretofore I desire to return to the field with a superior class of men, but to do so I must hold out inducements greater than those offered by other organizations. I appeal to your patriotism for pecuniary assistance, and shall always owe a debt of gratitude to those who now support me, be that aid ever so trifling. I have appointed Henry C. Townsend Esqr, 811 Arch St. treasurer of this fund. Your subscriptions should be sent to him as early as possible that I may be able to announce to the public the premium offered to recruits through your generosity
