The letter is on Wheeler's Confederate Cavalry letterhead and the color of the paper is yellow. A.C. Oxford was in the 8th Confederate Cavalry, Company D and served with General Wheeler. Oxford was quite the ladies man at the reunions and was wounded numerous times but never captured. A fact he was very proud of!
