Hampden Academy Feb. 28th 1863
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin,
Dear Sir,
At the request of his friends, with pleasure I recommend to your favorable consideration and assistance, if you can give it, Mr. John Sawyer, formerly a student in this Academy, but since the commencement of the war a member of Co. K. 2d Maine Regiment. He has been in most every engagement in which his regiment has participated and has been wounded twice. He is now a sergeant. The two Lieutenancies in his Company are at present vacant, his friends wish to secure one of those for him, and any assistance you may be able to give, I think will be worthily bestowed.
Very respectfully Daniel C. Burleigh
