D.B. Langston, Capt

I certify that I have carefully examined the said Private Wm M. Cook of Capt 
D.B. Langton's Company and find  him incapable of performing his duties of a 
solder because a laceration woud of lower jaw, received at the Battle of 
Chancellorsville. It is improbable for him to masticate his food.

Discharged 31st day of October, 1863, Camp  ? ?

Additional Comments:
Note:
Cook was born January 20, 1844 in Clarke County and died January 30,
        1938 in Washita County, OK. He obviously survived these terrible 
injuries, because he married and had two sons.
