Head Quarters 2[?] Rgt Me [?]

Camp S[?] Washington June 28th[?] [?]

Hon I.[?] Washburn Jr[?]

Dear Sir

Your f[?] of the 20th[?] [?] well received last evening and their contents[?] [?].

I relation[?] to Mr Jacksons letter which you enclose, I can only say as i have heretofor[?] said in my letters to you – that my regiment has had everything done for it that was[?] in the power of the Officers to do. The soldiers have always had the regular Army rations & of a good quality with very few exceptions which cases have been r[?] as soon as it was possible to have it done.

All the regiments in[?], &[?] about Washington, are treated[?] in the same manner in regard to rations[?], there are no exceptions made, no regiment has had any better treatment than this, - they have all that the law allowed them. I should form[?] no investigation either as to the general management of the Camp or to the estimation in which the regiment is held[?] by the Commander of this district (Gen.[?] Mansfield[?])
