�of my visit to Augusta. I hope your Excellency will be as disturbed as I am at these reports and contradictions which are so embarrassing and injurious to me. I do not know any way in which I am to blame for them, and I only hope that at some time I can overcome their mortifying effect by actual service in the field. I am persecuted with applications and propositions, but I urge all I see to enlist at once in the first Regt they can find. We had a good meeting Saturday, and the effects of it are very evident in this slow town.
Very truly Your Excellency's obdt. servt. J.L. Chamberlain
