Robert,

Thank you so much for your valuable research and information. I am kicking myself because I sold this Bible several months ago. How I wish I had kept it!

Nevertheless, I intend to forward your information to the person who bought the Bible from me. There was a little scrap of clothing and two locks of hair in the Bible, which I left in it as artifacts. Now, those small remnants seem to take on a much larger meaning --- perhaps they were from fallen comrades.

I guess the lesson here is to hold onto things a while longer before letting them go, even if no answers are immediately forthcoming. Luckily, I took photos of the Bible and will store your information with my photos. What a fascinating story!

Thanks so much for taking the time to contact me.

Michele
