Transcription Notes:
* Edited Maryeville for Marysville. If in doubt about sp. please use search engines to corroborate your tcs; these cities do still exist in Va. * Bvt. Shorthand for BREVET. * edited the first sentence to Cir = no. 10 series 1866. This is among the circulars used for this period. * Edited Aire for Civil Justice. Aire Justice would make no sense. [[Assistant]] visible sp. does not correlate but I am placing this here as a placeholder for confirmation. * editing Obi for Obt. Obi is not an abbreviation. Obt is used as shorthand for OBEDIENT. * Changed Div to Dist on final line * adding Hd Qr's in front of 11th Sub Dist. Hd Qr's is short for HEADQUARTERS. * Correcting final edit from A?H? to A. A.S.A. Com'r is common abbreviation. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-15 13:52:27
