EDlroRs CLARIoN-D Dear Sirs Mr.. w. j.
Of the 18th Mississippi Regi-
ment, referred to in the card Of Capt.
Thurman, published in the last Clarion as
being absent, (but does not specify from
what cause, has this morning requested
that make the following statement. He
is prompted to this course fearing that
some designing persons may makereports
derogatory to his character.
have examined the papers Of Mr.. W.
j. Mcdaniel, and find that owing to a gun
shot wound Of the ring finger on his left
hand, he was reported by the Assistant
Surgeon, Henry Peoples, as unit for duty
and in consequence was granted fur
Tough for 20 days from the 9Th July, and
approved by J. r. Brattan, Surgeon 4th
District. Furlough and transportation
we're granted and approved BY R. A. Lew
is, Surgeon @. S. A.; and in addition t.
the above received permission from the
Provost Marshal Of Richmond, Va, L
visit Newton Station, Miss.
Mr.. Mcdaniel, at the time Of his receiv
ing his Through, was an inmate Of WindeI
Hospital. This. no doubt, was the cause
Of his Captain not knowing where he was
for we are perfectly satisfied that his Cap
tain would not knowingly do soldier in
Justice.
Mr.. Mcdaniel requests you to make
small note Of these facts through your pc
per. Yours truly,
J. n. WATTS.
