Head Quarters 2nd Maine Regt. Vols.
Halls Hill Va, February 3, 1862

Genl J.L. Hodsdon
Dear Sir, 

Your letter of 
Jany 31st came duly to hand, but not the commissions of
Garnsey, Staples, and Forbes, which you will immediately
forward - In relation to filling up this Regiment to the
Army standard, I will say, that I shall need three
hundred (300) men in the course of a month - This
is not only the desire of myself, but the Brig and Division 
General are very anxious to see this a full Regiment
I hope you will make this your especial business and
without fail give me three hundred recruits in the
course of a month - I remain

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Srvt
Col. Chas W. Roberts
