[Heyworth]? Aug 19 [65]? [ Illegible] List of prominenet Union Men in County

Entered Aug 21st [65]?

This list is not perfect but is as good as I can send at this writing. If you desire I can get from 'Lexington' and 'Concord' additional names but you could do better by writing to [William]? Smith at Lexington and Ira Abbott at Concord.

If you desire a more perfect list let me know and I will prepare it and arrange it alphabetically.

With great respect [Illegible] Your friend H Noble
