Comments: After I was wounded I was brought to Fredericksburg (VA) two ladies took me to their home and took care of me. I do not know who they were or how long I stayed there, in fact, I do not remember of ever coming away. I judge I must have been there sometime as I afterwards found out they wrote two letters to my mother; who lost them before I got well enough to look at them, so I have no way of finding out who they were.
