. J. William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond Virginia: Dear Sir--Mr. Lamar Hollyday in his narrative of the Maryland troops in the Confederate service, published in the March number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, states that Captain Latrobe, of the Third battery of Maryland artillery, was killed at Vicksburg, Mississippi. That is a mistake. His report of the Third Maryland artillery should read thus: Captain Henry B. Latrobe, commissioned September 9th, 1861; left the service March 1st, 1863. Captain Ferd. O. Claiborne, promoted March 1st, 1863; killed at Vicksburg, Mississippi, June 22d, 1863. Please make the above correction, and much oblige, yours truly, William L. Ritter.
