Bangor July 29. 1861.

Gen John L. Hodsdon.

[?]

The Band for the 2d Regt. leave to-day [today] en-route for Washington – Via Augusta and Portland. I have directed them to call[?] on[?] Augusta, and receive instruction from you as to [?] expenses of subsistence &c and also to report their condition when leaving. I shall telegraph to you so that you may meet them. I have also prepared lists of their names, to be given to conductors[?], between this city and Portland, for adj[?] of fares[?]

I am sorry to be obliged to decline the Offer to go to Washington with the Band, as of [?] what I very much desired. but[?] the sad[?] accident[?] to my little girl, last Wednesday, (the loss of an eye.) Keeps me at home for a few days. [?] closely.

Respectfully yours

Jeremiah Fenno

P.S. I have arranged so that the Conductors[?] shall have a correct list of members of the “Band for the 2 Regt” who pass this day
