Sir

If any return has been made of the cavalry in Davidson
it is so mislaid, that it can not be convienantly [sic] found,
therefore in order that no disappointment, may happen
on that head, I have taken the liberty to inclose to you
Blank commissions, requesting that you, will please to
fill up the same, and deliver them to the captain
and subalterns, I have also sent inclosed to Genl.
Robertson Blank commissions to be filled. for the field
officers of the Cavalry requesting him to deliver them to
the Gentlemen elected on the day of the election

I have the honor to be
with due regard
Your m^o. obed. serv^t.

Col^o. Hayes
