Dr. Sister Clem,

Yours of March 27th came duly to hand and contents carefuly noted
and in reply will say I will cherfully aid you all I can in regard
to Brother William's Company, Regiment and Co.

As you requested me to see Mr. W.W. Hill who was by Brother
William's side when he was shot and helped to take care of him
until he died, I saw Mr. Hill to day and he is verry low with
consumption and I have him your letter but he was not able to write
or even sit up and I rote for him what you wanted to him to answer.
I wrote the following as he gave it to me.   -over- (back of paper)

I can't give  you James Spangler's addres no.   When I wrote him
he was in Puka (?), Mississippi but told me would leave there soon
and would write me where he would be but I have not heard from him
since that.

I hope you may be able to get your pention and any help I can be
to you I will certainly do.  I think if they have the Army records
they will find his name in the Quartermaster's Department und Col.
Cocrel (sic).

My kindes regards to all
Your Brother, 
R.H. Smith
