evacuation of Richmond The buttons he wore
upon his uniform were of the United States Army
pattern, and probably taken from the person OF
some dead Federal soldier. Several of these but
tons were also secured as relics.
A copy of this paper was mailed to the Rich
mond Wing, and in few days a letter was re-
ceived from Col. Richard L. Maury, cousin and
brother-in-law of Col Crutchfield, wishing to
know if the party having the handkerchief
would be willing to part with it; also, wishing
to know all the circumstances attending the
finding of the body, locality where killed, etc
Although 10 years had elapsed since the battle,
and many incidents had passed out of my
memory, | wrote Col. Maury, giving him
sketch of the locality and all the incidents
heretofore related; also, sending him the hand
kerchief, and stating that, although 10th TO
part with it rs memento of the great sttug-
gle, belonging, as it did, TO so noted Conied-
crate officer. yet, under the circumstances,
could not refrain from returning to them me-
mento which had no intrinsic value to me
(only as relic), but which was of priceless
value TO them In answer to this l received the
following letter:
RICHMOND, Va, May II, 1880.
GRAHAM WATTS. Esq, Eonesdalc, Pa.
DEAR SIR: am greatly Obliged for your KIND
i'll returning Col Cru;chiicids handkerchief
to his relatives aud sill more SO for the trouble
you have so kindly taken in preparing the clear
and detailed sketch of where md howyou found ms
body. | presume that you were not the first VINO
reached him, because soon after my return 10 fich-
mend from Appomattox Courthouse l received
"A letter from Federal officer at Danvllle Va
name not now remembered, but think he said he
was Quartermaster from Mchigan,-whO said he
had Col. CrlI;chlcld's watch. which he was wiling
to send me upon receipt of $500. As at that mo-
mcnt there was scarcely much money among
ali of in the State, need hardly add that never
received the watch. Could you possibly give me
any cIew to who the person was?
The description you give of the locality OF Coi:
Crutchficds fall seems clear ana concise tnat
am tempted TO go to the field again with the hope
of finding his remains. Meantime, if you should
hereafter hear remember anything more OF de-
tail which might guide me, would be very glad II
you would communicate it. I myself was in that
battle, and many of my comrades here,
but none who on Col. Crutchiield part OF the
line saw him fall.
Yours very truly, RICHARD l. MAURY
To this letter / replied that there were no
Michigan regiments in the Sixth Corps, and rs
| think our corps were the only troops who
went to Danvillc, Va. after Lees surrender,
the Colonel must have been mistaken a to the
State from which the Quartermaster was from.
1t is very evident that the party who had the
watch belonged to the Sixth Corps, and as the
family are very DESTROYS Of securing the
watch, hope that any com rade who has knowi-
edge of its whereabouts will communicate

To THE EDITOR: On the Goth of January
received dispatch that James P. Gof late of
battery B, 1st w. Va. l.. A., who served as a

Knowing his trouble to be one resulting from
injuries received on his lower limb during the

myself with instruments chlOrOfOrm, and band
ages, proposing to make thorough examina-
ton before deciding what need be done, and
then do it. At 9 o'clock on the 22d l arrived
at his house, made my intention known to our
comrade, who informed me l was at liberty to
act on my own Judgment. The decision
soon made was to remove tie offending men,
Der. The work began was soon complete. The
point of amputation was three inches above the
knee. The patient begun to sing Marching
Through Georgia" when the operation began.
the piece being sung with rs great correctness
as if sung by master musician.
In shorter time than it takes to tell the
story the operation was performed and neces-
sary dressing completed as soon as circum-
stances would permit, he himself aiding to dress
the limb. The night of the ODD and 23d passed
