Dear Gov
Yours of the 13th inst is at hand. Lieut Forbes has not to my knowledge turned up as yet. I wrote Col. Varney some time since to appoint or suggest the appointment of someone in his place. At all event I consider it right to drop him from the rolls immediately.
Very respectfully I remain yours truly Chas. W. Roberts Col. 2nd Maine Volunteers
To Hon Israel Washburn Jr. Augusta Maine
