of volunteers in New York and New Jersey, upon first obtaining the
approval of the Governors of said States.
I must decline to authorize Mr. Brown to recruit in the State of New
Jersey. I desire to send every available man in New Jersey into the
field to fill the quota of the State under the recent call, and to fill our
brigades in the field to the maximum standard. It is apparent that it
would be injudicious to sanction any enterprise which would embar-
rass me in accomplishing this result.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

It will be seen that His Excellency cannot permit Mr. Brown to raise
the troops referred to in the letter of July 18.
