Writes about raising the 1st South Carolina Infantry. "I have called a regt. into active service... some of the companies of this regt. are now in positions on Sullivan's Island in the rear of Fort Moultrie, and other companies are rapidly arriving for the same positions. I have also commissioned one Captain in the 1. regt. of 'enlisted men'... I desire to go on with the recruiting service."
