Additional Details

"The young men of Boston are earnestly solicited to join the ranks of this Regiment, which will be equal to any that has yet rallied to the support of the Flag." They conclude with a gentle hint that enlisting in this nine-month regiment will be preferable to eventually being drafted into a more dangerous situation: "Now is the time to 'Come On,' and then the alternative of 'Go On' will not occur."
