<p>battalion order</p>
<p>In conformity with the Militia law of this <placeName>State</placeName>, drill musters
will be held in each of the <persName>companies </persName>composing this <persName>Battalion </persName>on the
<date when="1830-11-06">first Saturday of November next</date>.</p>
<p>Owing to the territorial extent of the<placeName> militia districts</placeName>, and for the
greater convenience of the <persName>militia men</persName>, the <persName>commandant of each
company</persName> may at his discretion order said muster in <placeName>two places</placeName>: at
one, he will command in person, for the other, he will designate an
<persName>officer </persName>of his company.</p>
<p>Within five days after the muster the <persName>commandant of each
company</persName> will make complete returns <placeName>to the office of the <persName>first adjutant</persName> in<pb n="516"/>
this place</placeName>, of the <persName>officers</persName>, <persName>non commissioned officers</persName> and <persName>privates of
his company</persName>, noting particularly all absentees and sick, also the arms
and accouterments of each <persName>officer </persName><persName>non commissioned officer</persName> and
<persName>private</persName>, and what kind, and those who have none.</p>
<p>The <persName>commandant of each company</persName> will also make a general report
as to the state of his <persName>company</persName>, and as to any inconveniences, or
omissions which experience may have pointed out in the Present militia
laws of the state, or on any other subject connected with the <persName>militia</persName>,
which in his opinion requires the attention of government to insure
a more complete, efficient and convenient organization.</p>
<p>This order will be circulated by the <persName>first adjutant</persName> to the
<persName>commandant of companies</persName></p>
