	Sir it becomes 
My painful duty this morning
to inform you of the death of
your son Amos. he died at
the Small Pox Hospital this
morning at three oclock
A.M. the Dr and the chaplain
had informed me that he was
doeing well. And I think he
was until a few hours before
he died. I do not know whether
he had his papers with him or
not; As I was away with my
company when he arived
but suppose he had, and will
try to find them, And have
him regularley entered on the
Books of the Company, Our
Regiment, he received his clothes
At Harrisburg, And was with
the remnant of the Company, left
in Camp, one day.
		You And
your Family will except my Sympethy
for your great bereavement, And
            me
believe^ yours Truley,
