Thank you for making this letter available on line. The "Bob Query" mentioned in Robert C. Caldwell is my great, great grandfather. He was in the 10th Battalion, was a POW and is one of 30 or so confederate soldiers buried in Beaufort S.C. (U.S. Cemetary). Bob Query's wife was Matilda Caldwell Query, possibily a relative of Mr. Caldwell's.
