                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, June 1, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, May 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, May 29, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, May 19, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, May 17, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, April 26, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, April 15, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, March 28, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, March 21, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, March 18, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>

                <text>Correspondence from John Bennitt of Centreville, Michigan to his wife Charlotte, February 24, 1863. During this time, Bennitt works as a hospital surgeon and treats the wounded of the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He is reassigned to the 19th regiment, and is captured by the Confederates and spends time as a prisoner of war in Richmond. After his release, he goes to Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. This group of letters is transcribed and footnoted in Chapter 3 of I Hope to Do My Country Service.</text>
