The following letter, owned by Ernest Goad, appeared in an article on the Civil War by John Perry Alderman in The Carroll News.
The letter dated March 22, addressed to Mrs Polly Ann Gourd, reads,
"There is a soldier at this place by the name of Goard very sick. He has been a prisoner at Indianapolis and was returning home got this far, and is so sick he is not able to go further. He says his friends live in Carroll eight miles from the Court House. Some of his friends, ought to come at once to see him for his physician thinks it doubtful about his living. He is dangerously sick he has expressed a wish to see his brother in law, William Largen and I think he ought to come as soon as he hears it. He is sick at the house of Mrs. Wade and well provided for.
"Very respectfully
Mrs. Stone"
On the reverse side of the letter can be found,
"Mrs. Gourd, I am very sorry to inform you since I wrote the note on the other side the poor man has died. He died very comfortably. He had in his pockets a pocketbook with about two hundred dollars in it that will be taken care of until some of his firends call for it. He had no clothes with him except what he had on. His body will be decently buried today in this place. I deeply sympathize with his poor wife and little children. But the Lord knows best our life here is but short anyway. He was well taken care of and had a good physician to attend him all the time. He died at the house of Mrs. S.B. Wade in Christiansburg, Montgomery County Virginia.
"Your Sympathising Friend,
"Mrs. Stone."
