Text "A Challenge: Sir: The 'Harris Light Base Ball Club' will play any club in the 2d corps a game of base ball, to be governed by the rules of the American Base Ball Association, at any time and place the parties may agree upon. Address: W. B. Shafer, Lieut. Harris' Light Cavalry, 1st brigade, 2nd division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac."

The Harris Light was the 2nd New York Cavalry. The challenge was accepted by a NJ regiment in the 6th Corps, with what outcome we don't know.
