This wound was so severe as to necessitate the removal of three inches of the bone, which has probably rendered the arm permanently invalid.  On account of his wound, he was confined subsequently at {Armory} Sq. Hospital, Washington, {Sattalee} Hospital, West Philadelphia Pa., and Cavalry Corps Hospital at City Point, Va.&#13;
Rec’d no furloughs , and was always on duty with his company till wounded.&#13;
