Hd. Qtrs. 2nd Me. Vols. April 1st 1863
General
I take the liberty to ask if you can inform me as to whether any decision has been made on the question of the term of service of this regiment.
There seems to be an impression among the Officers & men that the whole regiment will be mustered out of service at the Expiration of the two years. If so I should like to be informed or if not so.
The time is so near at hand that it is quite important that the matter should be settled. I have not forgotten the affair at Fort Corcoran in August 1861, and do not wish it repeated. Will you kindly give me any information in your power?
Very Respectfully Your Obdt Servt Geo. Varney. Col. 2nd Me Vols
Genl J. L. Hodson Adjutant General State of Maine
