Local, county, city and town committees are constantly visiting the Adjutant General's office for the purpose of examining the rolls on file, as to the enlistment of new recruits, re-enlistments in the field, and enlistments for the regular service. In the absence of books showing local quotas and credits, this is the only method of obtaining the information sought. By constant handling, many of the rolls have become mutilated, and hardly legible. In addition to the value of these rolls for the purposes named, they may eventually be the only evidence whereby disabled soldiers or the families of deceased soldiers will be enabled to draw back pay or receive pensions. I respectfully ask your early consideration of this subject, and that the necessary appropriation be made to enable the Adjutant General to employ the force requisite to transcribe the rolls into books of credit with the several Congressional districts of the State.
