*Major Browne to Lt-Col. Machell: "I hope I shall be able to keep you supplied with a good lot of well trained men. It will, of course, be my main anxiety. ... The local recruiting for the [[Lonsdales]], as you say, seems to have come to an end. One would have liked to have kept it up, but I think it would be folly to rely on it. I might find myself unable to meet your requirements. Lord knows how soon you may require drafts. I have sent [[William Walter Riddell Binning|Binning]] to Carlisle to stir things up, & later I shall go myself. We are now to get one third of the recruits enlisting in the counties, until we are full up." <ref>{{lowther|recno=214}}</ref>
