Autograph letter signed
Title: to my dear Mother
He describes the battle in which the enemy opened fire, killing a horse and wounding one man. That man had his leg shot off and if he had not landed where he did, the author would have received the same wound. On Saturday and Sunday, the enemy attacked again. They fought for 5 hours and l27 men were killed and wounded.
