247 - L. Sept. 10: 4/4 - An undersized private appeared at the Provost
Marshal's office yesterday, asking for help. He stated that he had served
as a private in the 4th N. Y. Independent battery, and had been mustered
out on account of wounds. He said that he had been robbed of his money on
his way home to Indianapolis. ... He spoke in a whisper and something in his
bearing caused suspicion of his sex. Upon cross-examination "he" proved
to be a "female" She was put in the custody of the Ladies Aid society.
