To the Editor of the Dispatch:
VIII you kindly give this roll small
space in the Confederate columns of the
Dlsnatch? I am sure that many Of the
old comrades OF this company and the
children and relatives OF those that are
dead would be glad to have copy OF the
roll OF this command for reference. and
I take this method Of making 1t PUBLIC
as tho Dispatch is read by many In East
ern Virginia. This roster OF Company {,
Fifteenth Virginia Cavalry W. IL. +.
Lees. afterwards L. l.. hmars, Bril-
gade) Army Of Northern Virginia, Is
made from the recollections OF Nj. Z.
Seneca, now the only surviving COM
missioned officer Of the company. 1t be-
gins with the organization OF the COM
pany. I'm 1862, just before the evacuation
of Norfolk, and includes the years TO
1865. A few may be unintenionally
omitted, but the list IS very nearly cor
rect. Imperfect memory has caused the
omission OF a great many Initials, and
perhaps some are incorrect; but the boys
will excuse an old comrade. who is not
as familiar with the roll as he was thirty
five years ago. Hero is the list;
