Discusses passage of a militia bill and his correspondence with Mr. [Congressman from Massachusetts Fisher] Ames. Is asking Mr. Ames about the fate of Waters's own company. Would like his company to be "particularly noticed & recognized" in the bill. Yesterday Mr. Ames wrote him to say that the bill passed in the House and was up for debate in the Senate, but that it included a clause saying that his company would not be disbanded. Discusses ways they might be able to ensure this outcome, and wonders whether this clause will be enough. Hopes that Hull will help, as he was a member of this company as well.
