ilation is not a very valuable one. General Humphreys, in his Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865,Appendix C:, page 416, is more accurate, though his roster was evidently made upon returns dated about the first of the month of August, as the changes in my own command will show. Yours very truly, N. H. Harris. In Memoriam. Our readers will remember the name of Mrs. Waller in connection with our report of the Reunion of Morgan's men last July.

Thursday the 13th. The thousands of Confederate prisoners of war who survive their confinement in camp Douglas near this city during the war, will remember this lady as one of the most active and efficient of those noble-hearted ladies who devoted themselves during the four long years of the existence of this noted prison-pen to the alleviation of their situation in providing for the sick, and clothing naked and destitute prisoners. The destitute prisoners of Fort Donelson—Island No.10—Arkansas Post, &c., &c., have cause to remember with gratitude her kind and efficient ministrations to their necessities at that time, and it has been a matter of surprise to those who knew of her work in behalf of the prisoners, that recognition of her services has not been recorded in your papers by some of those who were the beneficiaries of her labors, long, long ago. Yours truly, W. O. George. In the recent death of Ex-Governor John Letcher, at his residence in Lexington, Virginia, ther
