Transcription Notes:
I'm sorry this is my first time transcribing.
* If you don't know a word, but have a guess, put the guess in the brackets with a ? (Ex: not Johnson [?] but [Johnson?] so that the next reviewer's eyes go directly to the word, not having to look around). If you don't have a guess, just put ? in the brackets. (Ex: Genl [[?]], late)
Also, familiarize yourself with military rank, Genl, Capt, Pvt. etc.
Most of these letters are signed "your obedient servant," abbreviated a number of ways.
