A letter, which I found in a book titled The Marble Valley Boys by Wayne
Wood, has a letter in it written by Henry Black Wood. Part of it is typed
in the below just as was written. The top of the letter has "Camp
Davis'es Ford, Manassus Junction, Jan. 29 1862". In the letter Henry
wrote, "We lost one of our mess mates night before last to wit Joseph
Sharbett. (Spelt that way in the letter.) he was on duty and had a chile
and then come to get a man to stand in his place and then complained of a
pain in his side. he lived two and one night after he was taken. Joseph
was a good soldier. he always was ready when his name was called. he was
ready to respond and do his part of the duty and such men as he adn
others that I could name that is dead. we mourn ther loss and hate to
give them up. but it is gods will and we must be satisfied." Written by
