Jefferson Quotes & Family Letters

Capt Bennett Taylor of the 19th virginia Regiment is well, & slightly wounded in the side, & wishes these facts known to his friends at home in Virginia. He is presumed to be, or to have been recently in Baltimore as a prisoner; but as intercourse with prisoners is not allowed, it is not easy to¹ ascertain just now where he is. Should it be permitted by persons in authority to be known where he is, which is probable, it also, will, & probably with their approbation, be communicated to his friends.

This officer is fortunate to be among the slightly wounded, & to be otherwise well, & his few relations in Philadelphia have been informed of it.
