GREENSBORO—July 21^st, 1862

Messes. Editors:--Permit me through your columns to express the warmest gratitude to the citizens of Greensboro for the unparalled generosity and kindness showed to every member of the detachment which I have the honor to command. We have been detained by accident near your beautiful village without rations of cooking utensils, consequently have been thrown upon the charity of strangers; but many, many thanks to you, we have fared most sumstously, lacking nothing. Be assured the kindness of the citizens of this vicinity will ever live in the hearts of us who are the recipients of your powers.

H. C. BIRD,

Capt. Co. K, 15^th Reg. S. C. T., Commanding Detachment.
