I have the honor to refer to you the following extract from report of Inspection received at these Head Quarters.

-Extract-
* * * * * *
"I would respectfully call attention to the fact, that there are quite a number of Union Soldiers buried in these Counties whose graves are fast obliterated, and soon no trace will be left, or monument left to mark the spot where sleep the brave sons of New York and New Hampshire.  There are at Warsaw seven graves - at Westmoreland church, one - at Union Wharf, Richmond County, two - and two others near that point.  I would suggest that measures may be taken that their remains may be removed to the National Cemetery at Fredericksburg and that suitable monuments be erected to mark their resting places, and where their graves will not be polluted, as some of them have been, were they now are."

Additional information with regard to the exact localities of the graves can be procured by inquiry of Lt. H. K. W. Ayers, V.R.C., A.S.A. Comr., Bureau R.F. & A. Lands, Warsaw, Richmond Co., Va.-
