Mrs. George Macauley, 335 East Forsyth Street, Jacksonville, Fla., asks that survivors of the 24th Mississippi Regiment who remember Henry Harrison (colored), a cook in the company under Captain Howard and Colonel Dowd, will give her such information in affidavit form, as she is trying to get a pension for him. "Uncle" Henry is now one hundred and five years old. He enlisted in Florida, and while driving a provision wagon near Nashville, Tenn., he had the bones of his right wrist shattered by a stray bullet.
