Contains transcriptions of letters. The contents of this floppy disk were transferred to CD ROM in February 2007. The format as it appears on the floppy disk is outdated and had to be changed. It was saved in rich text format, or .rtf in Word. There is a lot of code on the first couple of pages of each item. In addition, there are four items that could not be opened. These are in an older version of Microsoft Office Publisher. The format could not be changed on these and the newer version of Publisher does not support the older version.

Including photocopies of muster rolls, pension records, discharge papers, etc.
