Description
Chamberlain writes to Governor Washburn stating his Bowdoin College faculty colleagues are against his going and Chamberlain wishes the Governor to ignore them.
"But I feel that I must go & I trust that the representations they propose to make to induce you to withhold my commission will have no more weight with you than with me."
