Madame
It is my painful duty to inform you of the death of your son Lieut. James E. Coburn of this regiment--
He died this afternoon of a wound received in the assault on Port Hudson on May 27-- a ball passing through his body--
He had been suffering from protracted illness for a long time & remained at camp at Baton Rouge expecting daily to receive a leave of absence & to go home for a time to recover his health & strength when he heard on the 22d of an engagement in which his regiment had taken a prominent part on the previous day-- he at once started out & joined us, & four days later received his death wound in the sever action of the 27th.
His conduct was noble & heroic
His death was that most coveted by a soldier.
I am Madame with most sincere sympathy
Your Obedient Servant

Yours of May the 29th to your Husband is before me. And I am under the painful necessity of Stateing to you that your Husband Henry Curtis is no more. He came to this Hospital No 11 June 2nd with Small Pox and died the next day. His condition was such that he was not able to stand up under an attack of this kind. He could not speak and was not able to tell his name and we should not have found his name only from a letter in his Pocket from you. In regard to his effects. He had no money when he came here. As to his other things. You will have to give directions in regard to them. Nothing more I remain yours
