Prof. W.C. Parham,
Dear Friend,
I herewith hand you a complete list of the members of old Co. "G" 3rd Ark Cav Regt which, I think, is complete with notation as to what became of each. Many who are reported deserted merely went home and entered the Army of the Trans-Miss department and were not really deserters in the true acceptance of the term, but as every one had to be accounted form, they could be reported no other way after having been absent without leave for 30 days. I trust you may be successful in assembling the old members and if I can possibly attend will gladly be with you. I have never met one of the Regt since we disbanded and have heard from very few of them, though I kept up a correspondance with (?) for several years but heard from his last about six years ago.
Wishing you all much success, I am
sincerely yours,
J.E. Dumas
