     Com. 82nd Butt. of Infantry. 
     
    
   
   
    
     To Capt. D. Stewart, commanding 
     
     No. 3 Co., 82nd Bath, Ch’town. 
     
    
   
   
    
     It may be mentioned just here that Capt. T. S. McLeod, 
     
     then commanding No. 5 Company, at Hunter River, had also 
     
     offered his services and that of his Company for duty, and had 
     
     been accepted in the same manner as above stated. On Satur- 
     
     day, at noon of the 15th instant, the two Companies of the 
     
     82nd Battalion were fully organized and complete in their 
     
     equipments, except water bottles, which were not in store, and 
     
     reported themselves ready to proceed on Monday morning, the 
     
     18th inst., just three days after receiving orders; which showed 
     
     the military spirit which existed in this excellent Battalion. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Capt. Stewart had command of No. 1 Service Company, and 
     
     Capt. McLeod, (now Lt.-Col.) command of No. a Company. 
     
     We think that we cannot do better than give a few extracts from 
     
     Capt. Stewart’s report, which was forwarded to headquarters 
     
     after the Service Companies were dismissed, they being under 
     
     arms for thirteen days in Charlottetown, awaiting orders to 
     
    
   
   
    
     proceed : 
     
    
   
   
    
     No. l. “ In accordance with Battalion orders dated l4th May, 1885, 
     
     placing No. 3 Company 81nd Battalion on actual service for the Northwest, 
     
     the detail of No. 3 Company being I captain, 1 lieutenant, a sergeants, 
     
     26 rank and file, I have to report that on the first parade of the Company 
     
     there were present at roll call 27 rank and file, but owing to the strict 
     
     medical examination which the men had to undergo, five of the number 
     
     were found unfit for active service, which necessitated a further draft from 
     
     members of my Company, and 1 have pleasure in reporting that on Monday, 
     
     the 18th instant, the day we were to leave for service, there were present of
