(Note: This letter is by Lieutenant, Frederick Smith)I mourn his loss with you, Mrs. Parkinson. I hope you will excuse this rough letter, I have been down with chill fever and my hand trembles, but I was bound to write, and if there is anything that lays in my power I can do to help you, I will cheerfully do it, and I am your friend, Frederick Smith. Address: Lieutenant Frederick Smith, Co. B. 8 Louisiana, A.D., Milliken's Bend, La.
