Dear Sir
Among the many young me who have gone from our city to the War none have distinguished themselves more than Joseph Chamberlain of Bangor now attached to Company A 2nd Maine who is here for the purpose of recruiting.
I am pleased to bear my testimony to the moral worth his general intelligence and from what I hear of him a brave soldier if these qualities can be rewarded by promotion it will be no detriment to our army and you cannot do a better service than to commission him as Lieut. in some of the many vacancys that are occurring.
