Bangor Dec 17th 1862

Dear Genl,

Your favor of the 16th inst is
before me, am pleased that my little history
of the 2nd was satisfactory to you.  As regards
Gen'l [Johnson?] after his promotion I was with
him in no engagement consequently am not able
for want of proper data to do him justice, one
thing however we both are aware of that his
social qualities are unsurpassed and of his
bravery no one has a better record.  One thing which
I personally know of is that his superior officers
thought the world of him, he was even [loved?]
by Genls Tyler, Keyes, Kearney & Heinzelman, and
to the latter his death was truly a severe blow, were
he living I have reason to believe that he would 
be a full Major Genl.  Col. Varney on Saturday
last was slightly wounded in the cheek, Capts Wiggin,
Nelson, and Adjutant Mudgett were slightly wounded
I have not as yet heard of any privates being
