[July 26, 1864]

Dear Mary

Yours of the 4th & 17th just came to hand. Jim Rawlins has just left here, and he says Sammy was sent to the Hospital to-day. I am happy to know that you are so well.

In haste,

J. F. Culver

 

[The above note probably was transmitted with J.F.C.’s “Names of Killed and Wounded in the 129th Ills. before Atlanta, July 20, 1864,” a list of casualties arranged by company with a statistical summary.]

Total

Killed: 12

Wounded:

Officers 3

E. Men 49

Total 52

 

[At the end of the list, J.F.C. penned this instruction:]

You can lend this to M. E. Collins if he wishes to publish it [in the Pontiac “Sentinel”], but I would like this Copy preserved.

J. F. Culver
