Written in camp near Vicksburg, Mississippi (possibly in Louisiana). Gorsuch, Captain of the 83rd Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, requests that the editor of the Telegraph publish a message announcing the death of Enos Scudder. Scudder died January 16, 1863 after the Battle of Arkansas Post. Also announces the death of Thomas Deem, who died February 2, 1863. Relates that Jeremiah Reese, who died February 3, 1863, was the first man Gorsuch's company lost from disease. Cites the locations where wounded members of his company are receiving treatment.
