Medical examination of A.C. Runyon/Co. E 24th VA Inf, 1878

Newbern, Va.
Nov. 7th 1878

I certify that I have carefully examined A. C. Runyon of Co. E. 24th Va. 
Infantry, and find him the victim of a flesh wound received in action at 
Drury's Bluff May 16th 1863. The ball entered the right thigh about three 
inches above the knee, passing through the inner hamstring muscles, and 
finding exit at the inner edge of the rectus femur is (the outter front of 
the thigh). The muscles have sustained no permanent injury, though he 
suffers from rheumatism in consequence of the wound.
J. B. Jordan Med. Examiner

J B. Jordan personally appeared before me in my office and made oath that 
the set forth in the foregoing certificate is true.
March 5th 1879    Teste
