Matt I will put you in touch with Dr. Davis. She probably will email you the letter, but that would be her call as I's sure you can understand.

She also could use some help in ID'ing a federal in uniform probably a private in the Kansas infantry or cavalry. It's hard to tell with just the kepi,pants,and coat. At least it is for me.

As you are aware we have been working on Corporal Noah V. Ness for whom Ness County Kansas is named for a while now. Dr. Davis is an ancestor of the family.
