In camp near Harrison's Landing Va 2nd Maine Regt. Vol. August 12th 1862

Hon I. Washburn Dear Sir

I perceive by the papers that at least one more new regiment is to be raised immediately in Maine. In my judgment either a Surgeon or Assistant Surgeon who has seen some service should be put into each new regiment. You have received a letter as to qualifications of Doctor Palmer and for the sake of benefitting the service I should not object to his appointment as Surgeon in some other regiment. I would not [?] object to going into a new regiment myself if it was judged that I would be more useful there than here. I am perfectly satisfied with my present position, and am not aware that the regiments are dissatisfied with me but I think it now [emphatically?] a time, where the [?] interest, and not the private wishes of individuals should be consulted for
