If I can locate information that is of use to you, I would like a copy of your ancestor's records. You never know what I can turn up by reviewing these. Let me see what I can find first.

Just off of the top of my head have you ever read Augusti Bondi's diary. Or Alice Fry's compilation of the letters and rosters of the Fifth Kansas Cavalry, or the short articles by Greg Hermon, in the Olathe newspaper on the activities of the Fifth Kansas?

Thanks
Howard Mann
