There is 200 returned sick in the Regiment everymorning upon an average so the adjutant told me this morning. Our men arenot dangerous but it appears they can not get hearty. twelve or fifteenof them has been in the hospital over a month and I can not tell how muchlonger they may remain there. Give my respects to all inquiring friends.Please say to Mr. Fenn to write me if his bond is for P. M. yet or not, Iwrote him today but forgot to mention it.

Jacob Young, aPrimitive Baptist minister, lived one mile east of Irwinville Ga.Wednesday, the day of the capture, had been assigned by Mr. Young as theday to gather and shear his sheep and he had invited his friends andneighbors to come and assist him in the work. In response to hisinvitations they came, many of whom were ex-Confederate soldiers. It wascustomary on such occasions for them to carry their guns and after thesheep shearing was over they would engage in a deer hunt or uponreturning home, try to kill a deer to take home for the family larder. Onthis occasion many were at Mr. Young's house, their guns being stackedalong the yard fence as the day's work had not commenced. No one knew ofthe capture of Mr. Davis, some had heard the report of the guns but noone knew what it meant. Just at that time there appeared upon the scenetwo of the Yankee Calvary, who rode into the yard and went to Mr. Young'ssmokehouse and looked at his meat, then rode to the crib and looked athis corn and then told Mr. Young they had to have to corn to feed theYankee horses and the meat to feed their men. Mr. Young prevailed withthem not to take his meat and corn; that if they did his family as wellas quite a few widows and orphan children he was assisting, would suffer.This had no effect upon them, they stating that wagons would be along assoon as they returned, for it, but it was noticed that the Yanks kepttheir eyes on the men and the guns. They soon left and the wagons did notappear. It was supposed that they decided that the men with the guns werethere to protect Mr. Young's property and to molest it, they would againhave to face the bullets of the southerners as they had to their sorrowin the past.
