The Bowling Green has been exchanged for Wheeling on the Ohio River, for the following reasons—Captain Caldwell, who had been destined for the Bowling Green, was from Wheeling, and representing that he had well founded expectations of soon recruiting a Company at the latter place, it being evident that scarcely a Man was likely to be obtained at the B. Green, We judged it best, with the consent of Colo. Parker, within whose Circle Wheeling is situated, to adopt the Captains proposit⟨ion⟩ to be transfered to Wheeling, where he will be supplied by Chas. M. Thruston Contractor

I am with very great respect Sir Your Most Ob Sr
