Confederate Veteran, November, 1901.
CHARLES J. BECK, Columbia
I was wounded at the battle of
Gettysburg in 1863, and captured by the Federals but made my escape from
the hospital with THOMAS C. PAYSINTER, Company E, 3rd SC Regiment,
Kershaw's Brigade, A.V.N., about the first of September. On our way
homeward through Maryland we stopped at a house where we were very
kindly treated by the ladies, to whom we gave our names, regiments, etc.
and they in turn gave their names , with request that we notify them if
we arrived home safely. They were burned out in 1865 and we have made
repeated efforts to find them. These ladies lived on the Monocacy River,
about a mile from the Potomac. We should be glad indeed to hear from
them again.
