My dearest Frances
I give you in the enclosed extract
from the Philadelphia Inquire the
first clue I have found to the where-
abouts of our son
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
. By this extractit is seen that his regiment 9th NY,
Heavy Artillery is in General Wrights
Birth: 1820-03-06 Death: 1899-07-02
Army Corps (The Sixth), and that it
was conquered in the battle of last
Monday, when two of its captains
Birth: 1820 Death: 1864-06-23
were wounded. From the absence of any
mention of William among the casualties
it is partly inferred that he was left
unharmed.
Hollis White
Birth: 1813
goes to thepost today and I have charged
him with letters to William. I share
all your anxiety about him and
I shall let you know without delay
whatever I gather concerning him.
Your own Henry
