From Alexander Hamilton to Nathan Rice, 23 May 1800

To Nathan Rice

Head Quarters
Plainfield N Jersey
May 23rd 1800

Sir

I have directed Major Bewell1 to repair to the Brigade under your command for the purpose of enlisting four complete companies of Infantry.2 You will give every facility in your power to the accomplishment of this object. It would be well if, previously to the arrival of Major Bewell, recruits could be provisionily engaged.

Col. Rice
