Printed by Stevenson & Nichols at Nos. 22 & 24 Healey's Arcade. Broadside announces a meeting scheduled at "Volunteer Hall" to hear the report of the Committee on organizing the Mutual Draft-Preventing Association. This was a pro-quota meeting to avoid a draft by getting volunteers. Says the business must be completed in 3 days and that those "who have not paid their Assessments be sure to come Prepared To Pay, and have this thing finished up." Had previously been folded in half. Small hole toward the top and a small piece missing from right side at the fold line.
