CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.
here show that we had sent prior to May 30 24,653-a surplus of
4,813. The number of about 20,000 as our quota was given at Wash-
ington by the Secretary of War to my private secretary, who, as the
secretary of Governor Randall, was there on military business. We
have always acted on that supposition. There can be no mistake
about this on our part. The muster-rolls show the men you call upon.
As your construction would make us draft a large number of men
from a people already discontented because they are not allowed to
volunteer, please revise your figures.
E. SALOMON,
Governor.
