Head Quarters 20th Maine Volunteers May 25th 1863
To His Excellency Gov. Coburn,
Governor,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 20th instant, addressed to Col. Ames, and sent to me as the present commanding officer of this Regt. Col. Ames having been appointed Brigadier General, has taken his oath of office & been assigned a brigade in Gen. Howard's corps, where he is now on duty.
In reply to your favor I am very happy to say that Dr. [?] by the efforts of his friends in the Regt. & elsewhere, has been reinstated & honorably discharged. We were sorry to lose him, but he felt it his duty to go. It is very important to the welfare
