dable invasion, let me recommend to you three indi~iduals in this State as commanders-Col William Cumming, Genl Charles Nelson & Genl Charles Floyd-the two last would go willingly-it is somewhat doubt- ful if the first named Gentleman would accept-they can in the Event of an invasion. if the l\foney is furnished to pay expences to the couns try carry 10,000 Georgians Nelson can of himself carry 5000 and if Col Cumming was to head them, the young men of this State would engage as ardently and as enthusiastically in the cause, as was done in times of yore by the cru- saders to the conquest of the holy city-but they would be impelled by a better and a greater motive.- If you can find time to write me occasionally I would be more than pleased-
Yours
