From Maryland! Casualties in Co. E., 22nd
Regiment
Frederick
City, Frederick Co., Md.
September
7th, 1862
Messrs. Editors: After participating in one of the recent
battles at and around Manassas, the Brigade to which the glorious Twenty-Second
Regiment is attached, has crossed the Potomac, and we are now encamped in a
beautiful grove in Maryland and Confederate soldiers are greeted most cordially
by the Marylanders—we meet warm and ardent friends here—and in every respect do
we receive better treatment from the people, than we ever received in Northern
Virginia. So far, we have not had to pay
for stores and supplies of any sort—the people vieing
with each other in furnishing us such articles as we need. I regret that I have time this morning only
to give you the casualties in my company during the recent fight.
Wounded—Lt.
M. M. Wolfe, buckshot through leg; Lt. A. J. Busick,
struck on leg by a piece of shell; Sergt. O. C.
Wheeler, minnie ball through hand; Sergt. A. N. Gordon by fragment of shell; Corporal W. S.
Briggs, struck in eye by a small shot, inflicting a painful wound, and his eye
is entirely lost; Privates J. R. Wyrick, shot in
foot; James Laughlin, in shoulder; S. W. Shaw, in shoulder.
On
Monday, the 2nd, in the engagement near Fair Fax, C. H., our loss
was, killed, Private E. Riley; wounded, private A. Parish.

A. HOOPER,
