Castine May 23d 1862

Dear Sir  I spoke to you
with Hon. N.P. Washburn
and others last winter
about my son Charles 
Bridges who is 2nd Sergeant
in Company B 2d Reg. Maine
Vols.  I wished him 
promoted to Lieut if there was
a vacancy but there is not
likely to be any soon
I see by the papers there is 
to be a new Reg. raised
and I want him to have
a Lieuts [?] in one of
the companys of the new
Reg. if you want recommendations
I will send you
some good ones
by express mail
