Wilson was taken to the hospital, where he stayed two or three weeks, and as soon as he returned to duty he was also placed in arrest. This was made the subject for a court-martial, and that court-martial will form the subject of my next communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
