Mrs. Ernest Lynch
Route No. 2
Castlewood, Virginia

Dear Mrs. Lynch:

This is in reply to your letter of 13 July 1953, herewith returned.

The records show that one John H. Salyer, private, Company A, Regiment of Mounted Rifles, which subsequently became Company A, 22nd Regiment Virginia Cavalry (also known as Bowen's Regiment Virginia Mounted Riflemen), Confederate States Army, enlisted 16 June 1863 in Russell County, Virginia. His name last appears on a Register General Hospital, Winchester, Virginia, which shows that he was admitted 23 July 1864.

This collection of records is by no means complete, and failure to find the entire record of Confederate Military srevice does not indicate necessarily that an individual did not serve at some period not covered by the records.

Sincerly yours,

Wm. E. Bergin
Major General, USA
The Adjutant General

I certify that I have carefully examined the said James Salyer of Capt. Kendrick's Company, and find him incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of an old fracture implicating the ankle joint which incapacitates him to a considerable extent for walking, and lumbago from injury of the spinal column.
