Commanding Officer, K Company, 12 Regiment KY Volz.
I have to inform you that Inf. Lewis Casady of your Company died in this hospital April 20, 1865 of -------------------.
I enclose an Inventory of his Effects.

                ??? Jarvis, Surgion Us. 7th CONN Vol
                In charge of General Hospital, Wilmingotn, NC

*My note---the form for the list of effects simply states "No Effects"

There is only one more document in the sent material. It is;

Memorandum From Prisoner of War Records. It appears that at some point Lewis was sick in a hospital in Mississippi. On this form, there is an area that says, "Informaiton Obtained From" and under this, is says: The Records of Miss Hosp. Roll, vol. 120, page 2, vol. file, page 64. I really don't understand what this is as the only other thing on this form is a statement that Lewis died at the General Hospital in Wilmington, NC on April 20, 1865 of smallpox.
