Col J.L. Hodgdon

Dear Sir

I take cause to call your attention to, and interest you in Joseph W. Chamberlain now serving as Corporal in Co A 2nd Maine Regiment At the time of the first call by the President for troops for 3 months he was in my employ and engaged for one year at $2 / day but his patriotism forbade his staying at home when his country needed his services and he was among the first that enlisted from this city and has remained with his Regiment ever since. He has been in all the Battles and skirmishes in which his Regiment has been engaged from Bull Run to the Hanover Court House. I have conversed with several officers in his Regiment and also with the soldiers respecting him and they all give him the name of being one of the coolest and best solders in the Regiment. He is a son of Ira Chamberlin of this City which I presume you are acquainted with. His education is good, with good address and study habits and many of our citizens believe he is deserving of a better position than he now holds in the service and deserves
