IIon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
We telegraphed you some days since for our full quota of men under
the two calls for 75,000 and 300,000 volunteers. We have as yet had
no official information of our quota. Will you answer ?
NATHL. S. BERRY,
Governor.
CONCORD, N. H., August 23, 1862.
Hon. C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
In answer to your telegram of this date, our enrollment is nearly
complete. The approximate quota of the towns will be made next
Tuesday and preparation made and orders issued for the draft. We
hope to be ready by the 3d of September.

Brig. Gen. C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Assistant Adjutant- General :
Enrollment progressing. Commissioners and surgeons, rendezvous
and commandants selected. Expect everything will be ready by Sep-
