I am wondering if anyone knows where that was. and if they can tell me of any battles around there in june or May of 1864. I am trying to reseach my ancestor William L. Campbell of Texas County Missoui. he appears to have died between March - May of 1864 somewhere in Arkansas. He appears to have been a member of Col Thomas Freeman's brigade. I am hoping someone might know more about what all they were doing/battles around that time.

This is a transcript of a letter sent from Col Freeman to Mrs Campbell that was given to me a couple of years ago while I was reseaching Capt. Campbell. So I am hoping one of you can help me shed some light on where things were going on.

Camp Bond Ark. May 14, 1864

Mrs. Campbell
Madam and Dear friend

Giving an opportunity to send, I will write you a few lines Lint. Mc Farlin has written to you concerning your berevement occasioned by the honorable yet sad• fate of your dear Husband, and my distinguished friend and brother in arms. Arnoung all my friends on earth he was the dearest amoung men we being associated together so long and under such singler circumstances, and at such times and places so would try the simpathy of friends, and in all my illness and misfortune he was the first and the best, to administer to my wants when I was sick and in prison he administered unto me when in bat¬tle he was always closest by my side struggling for the great of Liberty. Poor fellow he fell as he always told me he desired to die, if he had to die, during this war in battle.
I have no time to write more at present as I did not know till this hour I would have an opportunity to send a letter to you, his mare was wounded. He wished me to have her, I will buy her at the sale, if she is not worth anything, as it was his request I should have her.
His affairs will be well attended to and you will get the proceeds of the same. I am improving now of my wound, but not able to take command yet, but will be soon. I regreat was that I could not him when he recieved his mortal wound, but was confined with my own wounds and could not even see him. He desired to be brought to me, but could not get to me. I sent for him as soon as I heard of his misfortune, but he was deceased when the detail arrived.
I am requested by his special friend Col. L.B. Love who was with him at the time he received his death wound, to write a Historical and Poetical schetch honor to his death
P.S. The Capt. had bought a horse to send to you to keep for your own use, I have ordered him to be kept till he can be safely sent to you.
Your friend
T.R. Freeman
