Transcription Notes:
There was a "James B Prince" - who was listed as the Act. Asst. Surgeon US.A at the Post Hospital - June 1867 - Post of Petersburg, Va. * He is listed as "James P. Prince" on the Jany. 1867 Post Return for the Post of Petersburg, in the same position as stated above. Va - not VA. There are other letters by this person where his name is signed "James P Prince." I have a feeling the clerk copied this it wrong as Jas. N. Prince.
