Description
Attorney General Josiah Hayden Drummond to Governor Washburn, speaking against Captain Lorenzo Mumfort and Lieutenant Ebenezer L. Huston of Company B in Falmouth, stating he believes them to be secret secessionists and draft resisters. Drummond also declares Joshua L. Chamberlain an unsuitable candidate for commission.
"Have you appointed Chamberlain Colonel of the 20th? His old classmates, etc. here say you have been deceived: that C is nothing at all: that is the universal expression of those who know him."
