“ . . . one of the men detailed to bury the dead at Franklin has got back to the Reg. And he says Ad & all the rest except one man was stripped of all clothes He says he didn’t put Ad. In the ditch but that he was standing right by & See two men pick him up & put him in the ditch & he & another man took up another man (one of Ad’s men} & bury him right by the side of Ad. & that Ad is the 3rd or 4th man from the end of the ditch at the east end – next to the Pike. He was intimately acquainted with Ad. and would have been sure to have known him. He says he thinks there could not have been any mistake about his identity. This was the next night after the fight.” [Dr. Isaac S. Collings to his daughter, Elmira, written the day after General Lee's surrender]
