Gov. I. Washburn Jr.

Dear Sir

Lieut James Dean of the 2nd Maine and myself
went to Lowell yesterday to see Col. Porter.  His son 
Thomas has been Recruiting a squad of men  he has 
now about 30 men enlisted.  we want to make arrangments
to have him come into our Company and go
into the 2nd Maine.  Col. Porter said that his son
wanted a Lieut Commission.  The young man says
that he expects orders soon and shall go where you
order him.  I would like to have him go in
with us and take the 2nd Lieutenancy and I think that
I can arrange with Sherwood to give him the
orderly and he satisfactory all around.  What
men I saw seamed to be pleased to go in with
us.  Col. Roberts is very anxious to have us fill up
and join the Regiment as soon as possible and 
I am getting tired of recruiting having been
engaged with the two Companies since the 1st October
and would like to have a chance at the Rebels as soon
as possible.  hoping to hear a favorable answer

I remain
Most respectfully
Dan'l White
