THE ROLL OF COMPANY G," FORTY-NINTH VIRGINIA INFANTRY.

DANVILLE, VA., June 27, 1896.

To the Editor of the Dispatch :

I enclose you the roll of Company G, 4Qth Virginia Infantry, as of date February 21, 1865, for you to use or not use as you may think best. I was orderly sergeant of the company at the time, and have a copy of the roll. The company was made up of men from Rappahannock county, and as I have lived so remote from the county so long that I have no knowledge as to who are dead, I send it with only two marked dead that I know of.

Yours truly, H. J. MILLER.
