The Captain’s Company,

A wealthy lady, living near a garrison town, sent an officer an Invitation to take tea with her. The note began, “The pleasure of Capt Armstrong’s Company Is requested,” and the answer ran accordingly: “Enlisted men Jones and Lee have been detailed to do guard duty, but the remainder of Capt, Armstrong’s company accept with pleasure.”
