Headquarters of Maine Vols Feb. 20th 1863
To His Excellency Abner Coburn Governor of Maine
Dear Governor,
According to the understanding I had with you when I left Augusta, I take the earliest opportunity after my return to inform you of the state of affairs in regard to the officers of this Reg't.
We have our four Captains in command of their companies - four first Lieutenants & two second Lts. acting as captains - five second lieutenants and four sergeants acting second Lts - most of the second and acting second Lts. of course are actually acting as first Lts. Leaving eleven vacancies in the Line.
The colonel is not prepared, I believe, to recommend candidates for the vacancies at present. The cases with which he appears to be satisfied, and in which I entirely concur, are the recommendation of Lieut. Fitch of Co. "E." as Captain of Co. "D." Lieut. Land of "G" as Capt. of Co. "H" or "B.", and second Lieut. Billings of "A" as first Lieut. of "D" & second Lieut. Morrill of Co. "B." as first Lieut, same company.
The sergeants appointed to act as Lieutenants are the following. 1. Sergeant Chamberlain, Co "J" appointed by the Col. acting 2nd Lieutenant of Co "D" Nov 20 1862.
