1850 Army letter regarding the proceeds of Sgt. Samuel Smith of Company A, 5th Regiment infantry, who died at East Passagola(sic) Miss on May 8, 1848. We were unable to find any info on Sgt. Smith online or on newspapers.com which is not working at the time of this writing. We do know the Mexican American War was in 1848, so maybe he died in combat? 9.75x7.75". East Pascagoula Mississippi
