Fayetteville, Oct. 14, 1904.
Gen. T. J. Churchill, Little Rock, Ark.
Dear Sir—I send you by Major Earle a complete list of Company K, Brooks’ regiment Arkansas infantry. I have omitted the names of all enlisted men who deserted and joined the enemy. This company was organized June 17, 1862, and went into camp at once. The enemy at that time were making frequent raids in Washington County and those who were in sympathy with them gave us all the exercise we needed. We spent the summer in scouting, skirmishing, drill and camp duties. In September, 1862, the Thirty-fourth Regiment was organized and later formed one of Fagan’s Brigade, your Division. You will remember at the break-up we were in camp at Marshall, Texas. When the Thirty-Fourth, in command of Major Earle, with King’s Regiment, started to Fort Smith to surrender, Captain Wilson of Company K took his trunk, in which were our muster rolls, and went into the interior of Texas. While there the trunk, with its contents, was lost. Other comrades and myself have been very careful in making this roll from memory. I am sure it is correct. I send it to go upon record, if the resolution of the U.C.V.’s is carried out.
With kindest regards I am, very truly yours,
S. P. PITTMAN.
