520 Norrs Carorina Troops, 1861-65.

Bern, and our regiment (the Thirty-first) only left that
neighbourhood when General Hoke was recalled to meet But-
ler’s forces in their effort to reach Richmond. It would be
well for Sergeant Joseph B. Kemp, Company D, Fifth Mich-
igan, to be more careful as to his claims.

Our flag was surrendered with the Regiment at Bush Hill,
N. C., 1 May, 1865.
