"I wish to correct your answer to my inquiry as to the 60th Ohio. Your statement is at variance. Ninety-one died in the battle and of wounds therefrom; 51 died in rebel prisons; 80 died at home and in Federal hospitals. You state that 10 were killed and 32 died of disease. I hope this correction may be published. We witnessed the 'cyclone of the Wilderness.' Our next engagement was at Marye's Bridge, when with three companies we lost 98 killed and wounded. As for the report made May 10, 1864, we lay under the service batteries for five hours before a command bearing three battleflags, dismounted cavalry, swept down upon us. We were so close that I plainly saw the eyes of the carbineers. We left the field as far as possible. Then came Spotsylvania, then Cold Harbor, Petersburg and Morehead. I lost my writing hand and reported for duty, but my wound had not healed, and I was not allowed to enter the fight at Peeble's Farm. S. S. Blackford, Acting Adjutant in my place, lost his left arm."
