Medford July 22/62 Governor Washburn Sir Permit me to request and urge you as soon as opportunity offers to promote Leonard D Carver of Com D one of volunteers from Lagrange Second Reg iment of Mr to some office as Lie- tenant, I had ample opportunity of acquaintance with him before he enlisted and know him to be a person honest--talented, patriotic of command ing appearance--rather tan and more than usual military turn I have been surprised in his not being promoted long ago as consider him as deserving as an office to say the least as any one from Lagrange. I understand that Capt Sampson of Milo to the present care of his company will recommend him I hope you will be deposed to find occa- sion to promote him Samuel Dinsmore Wm Barton Our quota for Medford is 4 If 2 volunteer, will a drat of 2 satisfy you? Would a sum of $50.00 for each 4 satisfy the government?
