Hon. THOMAS A. SCOTT:

HARRISBURG,

November 7, 1861.

We can raise a regiment in Franklin County quickly if a camp is allowed at Chambersburg. The sheds, stores, and other property used in spring are there. Gen. McCalla (McAllen) will command the regiment. Will you authorize it? Telegraph me and the quartermaster and commissary here.

A. G. CURTIN.
