Description
Jeremiah Fenno of Bangor writes to Governor Washburn to inform him that the band is on its way to Washington, D.C. but that regretfully he cannot accompany them at this time due to an injury to his daughter.
"I am sorry to be obliged to decline the offer to go to Washington with the Band – as it was what I very much desired – but the sad accident to my little girl, last Wednesday (the loss of an eye) keeps me at home a few days, very closely,"
