Hi Donna, Marion Brimberry emailed me this great web page. It is a roster of the 7th Calvary to whom William A. Smith belonged. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/acm/cav007-f.htm I'll resume the letters during the coming week.

David Just a note to tell you how much I am enjoying the Civil War letters and to ask if you have posted any past August 12th? I haven't eceived a thing from the Marion County Mailing list in almost a week well since you posted those last six ending in august 12, I haven't received a thing and dont' know how to get into the home page to read all that is going on so thought I would email you personally and see if you ahd posted any. Anyway thanks for printing them out and sharing.
