w. S. Hammond, Co. /, 1921 Pa,
Lewisberry, Pa, writes: Il have read in
issue of April 1G, COmrade Kinkaid's
very interesting account Of the operations
in the Shenandoah Valley. A number of us
from this town served in Co. l, 1921 Pa,
and were, of course, in the same brigade
with the author of a Battle Highway.
We never got near the Grand Review, in
Washington. however, because on even
ing of June we left Summit Point for
Staunton. Seven companies of the 19Jth
joined us at Winchester. We arrived at
HarrisOnburg on Sunday morning, June
H. passing a camp of Ohio soldiers, and
four companies of the 195th stopped here
to relieve the Ohio boys. We arrived at
StauntOn on Monday, June 2G, and stayed
there, doing guard duty over Early's cap
t;red stores, etc, till July 3, when four
companies of our regiment left for Lex
ington, getting into this place on the even
ing of July 4; but we didn't receive tin
cupful OF enthusiasm mentioned by
Comrade Kinkaid, only spoonful of
app.ejack. We camped in the Park of
the Virginia Military Institute, which was
destroyed by Hunter. We stayed at Lex
-ington till July %, when we left for

ESCAPED NEAR ROUGH AND READY.
A. X Nash, 95th ILL.,, Pasadena. Cal,
writes: II was prisoner at Anderson
vile in 'G4. and was one of 1000 who
were brought up to within 20 miles of At
lanta for an exchange. About 400 of the
600 could not be exchanged because they
did not belong to Sherman's regiments. l
was one of the 400 who were started back
to Andersonvile with the assurance from
the rebels that we should rot there be-
cause we had lied to them, telling them
we did belong to Sherman's army. We
were on neutral ground, and before they
got us back four miles into their lines my
close friend, johnson, and l made our es-
cape. With us was comrade from some
Indiana regiment, which I have forgot
ten.~ / never knew this comrades name,
but would like to hear from him. The
rebels chased us with b.oOdhOunds, but
all three reached our lines early il the
morning.
