Capt. GEoRGE D. DAvIs, Palmer’s Springs, Mecklenburg County, Va. :

CAPTAIN: In reply to your communication of the 22d, I have to state that by the proclamation of the governor of June 3, all volunteer companies not mustered into service are called upon forthwith to repair to their places of rendezvous, there to be mustered into the service of the State. You should therefore proceed with your company to Richmond, armed with such arms as may have been furnished you, or as you may be able to procure, where you will be provided with such arms and equipments as areavailable. It is advisable, however, that you come as fully equipped as possible, as you will thereby hasten your preparation for the field.

Respectfully, &c., R. E. LEE, General, Commanding.
