Dear Gen: I learn that Mr. Hamblen has put the name of “Albert H. Lunt" on our list of men furnished for the war. He is the infamous scoundrel who was recently sentenced to be shot, for desertion, etc and has no reason to hail from here. His father Henry Lunt moved from here in 48 or 49. The young man hasn't ever worked here since; but lived in Old Town and lastly in Hampden. I wish our town might be spared the disgrace of such fellows hailing from it by putting them where they belong.  I merely state the facts in the case as I undertand them and you will of course dispose of this case as you think best.

Truly Yours
S. Libbey.
