Hon I. Washburn Jr

Dear Sir

It is understood by us here that there is soon to be some person appointed from Maine, paid by the State, whose duty will be to look particularly after the wants of our Maine Regiments in the field, It is exceedingly laborious[?] for [?] and other officers of a regiment to be continually [?] for[?] hours[?] about the various departments at Washington, and if these[?] duties could[?] be expanded to a competent[?] man in much better [?] would you [?] [?] our troops If such an appointment is made Col. Jameson, Major [?] Quarter Master Lord and myself would prefer Dr. [?] Gordan. He is a business man and thoroughly acquainted with all the [?] avenues leading to the various departments, In addition to the above[?] he is a humane mand and one that the boys are always pleased with, should such an appointment be decided upon please not forget our wishes[?] in[?] this[?] respect

Very[?] Respectfully Yours [?] Haste[?]

Lieut Col. Chas. [?] Roberts 2nd Maine Regt
