There are three medical director cards in his file only providing information on his date of release on furlough. Of interest is a copy of correspondence between the War Department and the Louisiana State Board of Pension Commissioners dated November 25, 1914. His file contains some 65 cards which should provide interesting reading. i believe they are mostly vouchers for pay, forage, equipment, etc. However, I have not reviewed these. You can procure these records through the service noted in the red enclosed box above.
