I wish to thank you again for the information you've provided me over the past year about Capt. John R. Cochran and his various militia units in Dallas, Mo. I've incorporated some of it into one of the appendicies to a novel that my grandfather wrote about them. (I recently finished editing the novel and writing a number of appendicies for it.) I've also used information you published about the various types of Union militia companies on the Civil War in St. Louis Web site as a source for a separate appendix that also attempts to provide an overview of such companies.

In the next week or so, I plan to print a limited number of copies of the novel and appendices, bind them, and give them to relatives for Christmas. Later, it's possible that I might try to have the book published or self-publish it.

Consequently, I wanted to give you the opportunity to see the appendicies containing the aforementioned information. If you will send me an email address or mailing address, I'd be happy to forward this information to you.

My email address is: rtrowt@sbcglobal.net and my mailing address is: 450 E. Lockwood, #301, Webster Groves, MO 63119.

Sincerely,

George Williams
