To the Adjt Genl. of the State of Maine

Sir, I have the honor to address you to learn if I can procure papers to certify that I have served a term of one year and six months in the 2nd Me Vols. I was enlisted in Co. A 2nd Me Vols. at Bangor April 25th 1861 by Herman Bartlet and on the 26th of Oct. 1862 was discharged to enlist in the regulars for a term of 1 year and 6 months from the 2nd Me. I rec'd no other discharge than a discriptive list on a paper together with the discriptive list of A. P. Jones discharged at the same time and for the same purpose. Said discriptive list Jones has in his possession and is now in the State of Minnesota and as I myself wish to leave the state it is essential that I should have something to certify that I have served a term of three years.

My dis. from the U.S. Engineers merely that I was enlisted at Sandy Hook Md for the term of 1 year and 6 months, saying nothing of any previous enlistment.

If such papers can be granted and forwarded to my address you will (over)
