Transcription: Edgefield District S[outh] Carolina Oct[ober] the 13th 1864 To Dean of the Medical Faculty Sir I desire to attend the Lectures at your College this winter. I am a first course student. I attended a course at the Augusta Medical College in the fall and winter of 1860 and [18]61. Immediately after I got home from the Lectures I vol- unteered in the 7th S.C. Reg[imen]t in which reg[imen]t I served until at the battle of Sharpsburg M[arylan]d {Sept[ember]. 17 1862} where I was wounded in the right shoulder, which has pro- duced anchylosis. I was furloughed home. The first of this year I went before the Medical board and got a certificate of permanent disability, which I sent to the 7th S.C. Reg[imen]t. togeather with a petition to exempt me from service this year to teach school, which petition was approved. So I have been teaching school this year. My exemption ceases at the end of this year unless I get it renewed. I would thank you to write me immediately how I must proceed in order to get to your College; and to be allowed the privilege of attending the Lectures for graduation. I will go before the board for another certifi- cate of disability; and will wait to hear from you unitl the 10th of Nov[ember]. unless I hear from you sooner. Please send me a circular of your College. I am now teaching school. My school will soon be up. Address me at Lott's Post office Edgefield District South Carolina. I will patiently await your answer which I hope to recieve very soon. I subscribe myself your obedient servant J[ohn] M. Rushton. [Endorsement:] J[ohn] M. Rushton Lott's P.O. S.C. Oct[ober] 13 1864 Enquiring into the means of getting to Richmond to attend Lectures. Has permanent anchylosis of right shoulder. |
