Confederate Veteran, Vol.XV,
June, 1907.
P.A. McDAVID, of Greenville,
S.C., writes;
" On the 14th of August, 1864, I
was severely wounded and captured at Deep Bottom, Va., and
carried to Fortress Monroe. In the same room at the hospital where
I was taken were GENERAL WALKER, who had lost a leg. Captain
Mason, of Major General Field's staff, Lieut. E.W. Ware, of Va.
and Captain or Lieut. McEachern. J.Chester Jones, of Baltimore, was
the nursing his wounded brother, who was captain of artillery in
the Federal army. He was very kind to me in my helpless condition.
I should like to hear from all or any of the above-named veterans
if living, and should like to shake hands at the Reunion in
Richmond."
