Gen'l Hospital, September 12, 1865, suffering from great deformity of right limb the result of gunshot wound, right thigh, upper third, through trochanter major, severely fracturing femur. Wounded at the battle of Southside Railroad, Va., April 1, 1865. On admission to this Hospital, the patient had so far recovered as to be able to sit up, and constitutional state was tolerably good.
