I was verry glad to hear of the cavilry
catching some of those worthless boys that
are sneaking about trying
to keep from doing
thair duty. I hope thay may
suceed in
catching all of them and send
them to the
Penitentary to serve thair time thare for
thay are not account at home and a
great eal
less here. so if thay
will put them in
a lott and put a over seer
off over them
to make them work thay do more good
that way
than eny
other, if
thay were to bring
them here thay would run way a gain
Hodg be fore this time. though I will
tel you some thing about him. he was
wounded in the battle of Gettysburg. he had
a verry sevire wound in the left sholder
Mr. Keen of his com said the ball went in
his shoulder and lodged in his back. he said
he thought the shoulder bone was injured
by the ball, and the last he hird from
him was at Staunton. and his wound
had suffered verry much for of attention.[1]
