�J.L. Chamberlain
Brunswick

Brunswick July 17 1862
His Excellency Gov. Washburn

I received your note of yester-
day, and thank you for your
favorable opinion. I shall
endeavor to comply with your
request, and see you to-
morrow. Meantime let me
say that I only want to be where
I can best serve you. I do
not wish to stand in the way
of others -- especially of our gal-
lant men on the Potomac.

I believe I can get together
a thousand men in a very
short time, and shall hold
myself entirely on your Excellen-
cry's errand in 10 days.
