This Day in History: April 12

In Council, April 12, 1781 Sir, Having received an application from the commanding officer to strengthen our army below, and being very unwilling to harrass the militia more than shall be absolutely unavoidable, we are in hopes an immediate and sufficient accession of force may be obtained by application to the several counties for their delinquents in militia duty whom the law sentences to six months service.
