Re: looks like a black Confederate being paid

It didn't mention Camp Chase but Camp Douglas...and the report was listed as follows:

All the CSRs of the men who were captured 11 Jan 1863 at Ark Post, AR, sent to MP at Camp Douglas, IL then delivered to City Point, VA 10 Apr 1863 bear the following notation: "City Point VA. April 10, 1863. "Received this 10th day of April 1863 from Cpt A. Bartlett, 9th Ver. Vols. USA (520) five hundred and twenty confederate prisoners of war and one Negro Boy, stated to be a prisoner of war.' J.H. Thompson, Commanding at City Point, VA."

This was from the info and CSR's of men of the 24th Ark Inf as compiled by Bryan.
