from the 2nd Maine Regt.  This movement in his behalf
has not originated with me, but with a few of the
above named gentlemen, who, to use their own words have
said it is a shame to have such a capable young man
serving in the ranks, and being so unjustly treated.

Richard wrote in the county clerk's office for three 
years, under Mr. Weston.  The Adj. Gen. may perhaps
remember him in that capacity.  It is a better fact that
not one of the members of the Irish company in the 2nd
Maine has received the least promotion.  You cannot
imagine the effect that an acknowledgment of the service
of any one of the members of that company would have
in the cause of enlisting among the Irishmen of
Bangor.

Please answer to either Mr. Simpson or me 
what your Excellency is disposed to do in the matter.

With much respect
Your Obt Servt
D.F. Kelleher
