To the local chiefs mentioned in the margin:

Upon receipt of this order, you will send to this Headquarters a large number of men, selecting the most resolute and decided ones, to be soldiers; and I admonish you that if you fail to do this, you will be treated as traitors to the country; which, however, this government does not anticipate in view of your evident patriotism up to the present.
