In a letter dated 30 December 1862, to William Busby, Olmsted (Ohio?), Pvt. Addison Jones, Co. E, 94th Ohio Infantry regiment, writes from Dark Corner, Ohio. He had been ill and will soon rejoin his regiment. Yesterday, 300 of his regiment got on the train to return to the regiment stationed near Nashville, Tennessee. They had been captured during the retreat following the Battle of Richmond, Kentucky, and later paroled. Jones, a Union soldier during the Civil War, mentions the names of the officers in his company and regiment.
