To His Excellency
Israel Washburn Jr
Gov. of the State of Maine

Hayes having been a member of my company in the Second Maine Regiment, since its organization and learning from him that he is desirous of obtaining a higher position than he now holds in Military, I can most cheerfully recommend him as being a young man of steady habits and of good moral character--
Very Resp'y Your Obt. Servt-
