cradle number of additional original Con
federate records received from State ON
cisls. historical associations and private
individuals has been copied and returned,
but even with these additions the War
Department collection OF Confederate
records of military service is far from
complete. 1; is hoped, however, that
with the assistance of the governors OF
the several States from which organiza-
ton bodies OF troops entered the Conled'
crate service the departmentsincompIeie
collection of Confederate records will be
further augmented in the near future
by additional loans of original records.
"Such service records OF Confederate
troops from Alabama, Arkansas, Florl-
da Georgia and Kentucky as are on file
10 this department have been reproduced
BY the system previously applied to the
records of the union volunteers, ano
work is now progressing on the records
of the Louisiana troops"
