Hon Thos G. Fuller, Richmond, Va: Dear Sir:
Yours of the 18th instant is at hand. In my alb
sepce fron, the office, the delay in answering is
counted for. | hope however it is not too late to
COMPLY with your request. The number of Vol
unteers from N. C. according to our books is eigh
weight thousand, one hundred and forty-seven
iS,I47) the number of Conscripts IA 1861
Grand total 1902 GOT, which the State has furnish
ed, I'D to about the 1st March, 1864 in the army
the Confederate States There are but few now
in the State service, as most all have been turned
over. As to the losses, we can only approximate
to anything like correct statement. The returns
have been made from nearly all the Regiments,
but The labor great they have not been all
corded on our books But probable estimate OF
the losses can be formed by taking number of
Regiments and making an average, which we have
done and find that it would be safe TO say that our
loss 10 killed, died and discharged for\ disability
will reach at least forty per cent. OF the. whole
Our list of killed and those who have died from
wounds and diseases is indeed great but am not
prepatcd to give the figures and [ have made no
estimate since the beginning Oft the Year Many
regin ents have lost from to 500 and our books
will show, when completed, our entire loss and
from What Use The number of Regiments fur
nished by this State full and complete is seventy
Co., and about IA Battalions and some unattach-
ed companies, which would make in all about so
| Regiments. A number of these Regiments have
had as high as 100 men. The II year old Boys
have all been sent into Camp recently, and the Old
Men from As to 80 from several of the Eastern
Counties, bySGen. Holmes. Hoping that this
may serve your purpose, though not as satisfacto-
ry as | could wish. Respectfully, yours,
JAS, H. FooTE, Maj. & A.A. Gen.
