For a more full and detailed account of the men furnished by Massachusetts, see Volume I., page 667, and the reports of the Adjutant-General during the war. By the very able report (House Doc. No. 7), made by Mr. Wentworth to the Legislature in 1867, and to which we have already referred, it is made to appear that the expenses incurred by the several cities and towns for bounties, recruiting, and other expenses growing out of the war, but not including the payment of State aid to the families of volunteers, was$13,010,867.52 Being $10.74 for each inhabitant of the State, according to the census of 1865.

The following extract from a letter which we received in 1867 from Thomas Lewis, Jr., chairman of the selectmen, town-clerk and town-treasurer all through the war, in regard to Falmouth, will apply to almost every town in Barnstable County:— At the time of the breaking out of the Rebellion, most of our young men were pursuing their peculiar avocations upon the seas, and most of them on long voyages; nevertheless we were able to fulfil all the requirements of the State and General Governments in furnishing men for the war, and when the struggle was
