�want to be the last in the field, if it can possibly be helped.
I am sensible that I am proposing personal sacrifices, which would not probably be demanded of me: but I believe this to be my duty, and I know I can be of service to my Country in this hour of her peril.
I shall acquiesce in your decision Governor, whether I can best serve you here or in the field. I believe you will find[?] me qualified for the latter as for the former, and I trust I may have the honor to hear a word[?] from you, and I remain,
Yours to command,
J. L. Chamberlain.
To His Excellency
The Governor.
