the hospital he has been in the heaviest fights Of tho
war, from Roanoke and Anctam TO vickburg and back

killed behind him has had bullets through his cap and
his coat had solid shot pass between his body and his
arm just he lifting his sword to cheer his
at Petersburg which parayzed his whole side for twenty
four hours and yet he has never lost drop Of blood
He was nearly starved to death for five long months by
rebels at Libby Andersonville and Danve and as
soon as they got through he was as lively ever and
comes back to reap the fruits Of the victory for which he
has fought over four years.
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas B. Marsh served for long
time on General Burnsdes STAFF and while he has not
been quite fortunate Colonel Wright he has in all
his varied positions, sustained with unusual brllliancy
the reputation Of a soldier and a gentleman.
