On The Field of Shiloh.

AS l frequently see letters ofinquiry
in your columns, | have taken an idea
that | would make known an occurrence
that took place on the battlefield of
Shiloh, the 9th night of April, 1862,
twenty years ago and over, at the came
time hoping that if this happens ever
to appear in print it may possibly be
presented to the eye or ear of some
one who may be sufficiently interested
or related to the owner or donor to
reply.
1t was the custom or habit of rebel
soldiers, and l suppose Yankees too,
to examine all bundles or packages,
knapsacks etc., falling into their pos
session in time of battle. Just so, Mr..
Editor, l did, and in searching a KNAPP
sack on Sunday night, April 6, 1862,
came INTO the possession OF beautl-
full, small, gilt-edged Testiment, in
which was written on the fyleaf:
Presented to John Roads by his sis
ter Maggie.

My brother, very pleasant
Hast thou been unto me-"
