�Head Quarters 3d Brigade, 1st Div. 5 corps.
     Camp at Beverly Ford, Va.
            Aug 31st 1863

To His Excellency Governor Coburn,
            Governor,
                            I am well acquainted with Lieut. Adelbert B. Twitchell of the 5th Batter Maine Vols., & my knowledge of his character as a man & his high reputation as an officer, enable me to say with pleasure that he is a most deserving officer. I know of no one from our State, in the Artillery service, whose character, conduct, experience & gallant services, better entitle him to promotion.
     Any such appointment which might be
