Brown. Young man, I do not wish to discuss that question here.
Volunteer. You could not do anything.
Brown. Well, perhaps your ideas and mine on military subjects would differ materially.
Mason. Did you consider this a military organization in this Constitution? I have not yet read it.
Brown. I did in some sense. I wish you would give that paper close attention.
Mason. You consider yourself the commander-in-chief of these "provisional" military forces?
Brown. I was chosen, agreeably to the ordinance of a certain document, commander-in-chief of that force.
Mason. What wages did you offer?
Brown. None.
