Bangor July 29. 1861.
Gen John L. Hodsdon.
Dr Sir,
The Band for the 2nd Regt. leave to-day en-route for Washington – via Augusta and Portland. I have directed them to call on Augusta, and receive instruction from you as to fares, expenses of subsistence etc and also to report their condition when leaving. I shall telegraph to you so that you may meet them. I have also prepared lists of their names, to be given to conductors, between this city and Portland, for adjustment of fares.
I am sorry to be obliged to decline the offer to go to Washington with the Band, as if does what I very much desired, but the sad accident to my little girl last Wednesday, (the loss of an eye.) keeps me at home for a few days, very closely.
Respectfully yours
Jeremiah Fenno
P.S. I have arranged so that the Conductors shall have a correct list of members of the “Band for the 2 Regt” who pass this day
