Correspondence and lists of deceased and hospitalized soldiers reported to Governors Salomon and Lewis by state military agents and Sanitary Commission agents and by a few regimental and hospital surgeons. Relief agencies represented by these agents include the Wisconsin Soldier's Aid Society, New England Soldiers Relief Association, United States Sanitary Commission, Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, and Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. State military agents include M.D. Bartlett, Sam C. Bean, Robert R. Corson, E.S. Hall, Frank S. Howe, E.L. Jones, Jacob Law, L.B. Nichols, W.Y. Selleck, George C. Smith, D.R. Spooner, George W. Sturgis, and George R. Sturitz. Occasional correspondence, including some from Mrs. Cordelia Harvey, a special agent for Wisconsin, is scattered among the lists. The reports were arranged and numbered by the adjutant general, probably during the 1880s, when the names were reviewed in order to complete and correct the records of individual soldiers.
