17 days AWOL

Hospital(Hosp #9)Richmond

Wayside, Richmond, VA.
It is apparent to me that he was
never Absent without Leave.
When he left the Wilmington area
he was headed north to rejoin
his Unit, the 4th North Carolina
Calvary, Co C & he was sick for
a while and reported to Wayside
in Richmond. He most likely
reported to the 4th Calvary as
it was nearby in the Petersburg
area at the end of 1864.
It is also possible he had
already reported to his Unit &
went to the Hospial from his
Unit. It was toward the end of
1864 when Confederate record
keeping became almost non
existent.
