Clarke S. Edwards, Maine 5th, 1861?

I found this link to a letter that sold on Amazon. It shows Edwards at "Camp Cameron No. Cambridge" with an unknown number of men.

The details in the letter do not fit with the history of the Regiment. I assume he was sent home to recruit replacements for the regiment and this is his bringing them to the front. The letter is undated but the seller assumed it was in 1861.
