Transcription Notes:
NOTE 1: Scribe misspells Lieutenant abbreviation as "Leiut" - after examining several of these, the scribe is dotting over the 3rd letter (i). changed "U.S.J." to "U.S.I." (United States Infantry) NOTE 2: Conyngham appears to be an existing surname per Google search. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-07-26 16:41:32
