Full Text	To (53) Andrew Warner You are hereby notified that you were enrolled in the Militia of Randolph Township Montegomery County, Ohio, and have been drafted into the service of the United States, to serve for nine months. You are required within five days after the date of this notice, to assemble in Dayton, the county seat of said County, where transport- ation will be furnished you to Camp Dennison, the place of rendezvous of the drafted Militia force of this County. Given under my hand at Dayton, Ohio, this Second day of October A.D. 1862. E.S. Young Commissoner for Montgomery County, O. The Government supply of Blankets being exhausted, drafted men are advised to take with them a good woolen blanket. The regulations blanket is 84x66 inches, and weighs five pounds. As all Clothing, Blank- ets, and Shoes issued by the United States to its troops are charged at an average cost, and no soldier who furnishes his own blanket is required to draw one, it is to his interest to supply himself and thereby avoid much discomfort, as it is impossible for the United States to supply all troops immediately.
