"Selectman Office West Cambridge Dec 20th, 1864 Capt. H.G. Herrick Provost Marshall 6th District Sir I send you below a list of names from the enrollment list of this town who are passed the age of forty five years and others who have removed permantly from Town (includes names and either age or new residence) Those marked x were laborers hired for a few months by farmers and will not probably be heard of again here Can you give me an idea what our quota may be under the new call just out? Our enrolled men have a meeting on Saturday evening next to take measures to fill up, and it would be a great [?] if they could know something near how many would be required" [Dec 20, 1864]
