Dear Mr. Parmer --

One of our on-going research projects here at Honey Springs Battlefield is the collection of biographical information on those who participated. We would like to have all or some of the following information: Soldier's parents, his birth-date/place, name of wife/children, pre-war activities/occupation, post-war activities/occupation, date of death/burial place. We would also appreciate having a photograph of the soldier (at any age).

When our permanent Interpretive Center is completed we will line three walls of the conference/video room with soldiers' biographies; the information you and others send will be edited to fit the frame and those that arrive earliest, naturally, will be up the longest. (We hope that after a while we'll have so many that we'll have to "rotate" them from time to time.)

Additionally, for the vertical files, we'd appreciate having such biographical sketches for anyone who fought in any other engagement, action, skirmish, or encounter in the territory.
