Most of yall know I have been hunting a Mans land for Camp Trenton . After he told me of his Grandfather being in the C.W. and showed me the field his old home place was , I decided to try and find some of his C. W. things he might have brought home . I done this because he let me hunt all his land . I still havent found the bottom of his reunion badge yet , but will probably be next year after they get the beans off . Corn fields are no fun to hunt . Mr Reed was very excited to see the little stuff I had found . I couldnt get the gold watch much cleaner , didnt have any sulfuric accid . Sam P. Reed enlisted at Arkansas I thank . He was captured and sent to Northern Indiana to a prison about the middle of the War . Thats about all I could come up with . This case and a bag of larger stuff was all that I found . My hats off to Capt. Sam Reed C . S . A.
