Transcription: Mt. Pleasant South Carolina July th 1864 Dr. L[evin] S[mith] Joines[Joynes]: Dear Sir: Having began the Study of Medicine prior to the commencement of this unholy conflict, and having attended one course of Med[ical]. Lectures (terminating in 1861) at Augusta Ga. I desire to attended another at Richmond the ensuing winter. Being incited more by motives of patriotism than a desire to prosecute a Study of mere individual interest, I relinquished all private avocations, and joined my comrades in arms in the Summer of 1861 to assist in repelling the insolent foe from the soil of our infant confederacy. I escaped all harm from the destructive missiles of the Enemy, until the 3rd May 1863, at which time I received a severe wound in the hand and wrist causing achylosis of the parts injured. In consequence of which I have been detailed in Conscript Department, up to the present time, and doubtless, my duty will be longer continued. In all probability, I could serve my country in a better capacity. I would respectfully ask you to effect a detail for me for the purpose {of} attending a second course at Richmond Va [crossout illegible]{during} the coming winter. Very RespectfullyL[udy]M Henderson P.S. If such a thing is effective, please inform me when your Lectures will commence, by addres{ing} me at Mt. Pleasant Lauren's Dist[rict] S.C. L.M.H. L[udy].M. Henderson Mount Pleasant S.C. Desiring a detail to Attend Medical Lec- ture in Richmond July 18th |
