Captain l.. M. Grist. Captain Grist

Grist to this writer, on reading the
correspondents letter. The night Of the

Colonel Dixon Barnes. There was not
scrap Of paper to be found in my

before morning had the casualty list
of the regiment ready for the office of
Gen. Hills adjutant general. Next day
I made another copy and managed to
get the York county names off through
the mail by way Of Richmond. At
the same time I gave the Richmond
Dispatch a complete list Of all the cas-
ualties in the regiment; but the list
was never published I believe"
