The Marion Light Artillery was organized during the summer of 1861. Most of its members came from Marion, S.C. At the time this letter was written, Daniel Heyward Hamilton, Jr., was garrisoned at Columbia with the Columbia Provost Guards. Capt. Hamilton's company was raised in late 1863 from conscripts declared unfit for field service at the camp of instruction in Columbia. Later, soldiers from other commands who were declared unfit for field service by the Medical Examining Board were also transferred to the company. The Provost Guard served as military police, chasing deserters and escaped prisoners of war.
From the description of Letter, [18]64 Mar. 11 (near Charleston, S.C.) to Capt. D[aniel] H[eyward] Hamilton (Columbia, S.C.) (University of South Carolina). WorldCat record id: 780435952
