Camp of the 20th Regt. Maine Vols. near Warrington Va Nov 16, 1862
To His Excellency I. Washburn Jr Governor of Maine Dear Sir,
Recent changes in this army corps leave all the brigades of this Division without Brigadier Generals to command them. Recognizing the eminent qualifications of Col. Ames, Maj. Genl. Hooker has written a letter earnestly expressing his "anxiety, that Col. Ames be promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and be assigned to the duty in his command." The past services of Col. Ames in this war are as great and as honorable as those of any other officer in the army. And among military men no one sustains a higher reputation. We need not say more to you who know him so well, but may add that Generals Howard & Berry are warmly engaged in his behalf. We trust you will recommend him to the President and give your aid in securing his promotion -- We are Dear Gov. Respectfully your Obt. Servts --
J. L. Chamberlain Charles D. Gilmore
