Hallo, I need som help about a Confederate Surgeon I am studying about, Dr. John B Wortham!
I found a letters from a soldier, ACL Gatewood, where he cited Dr Wortham as their surgeon.
The original letters are present as pdf on Google Drive (see pag 51-59, Dr Wortham is cited at the beginning of page 57)

A Cadet Life & Civil War Collection from the VMI Archives
Andrew C. L. Gatewood Papers Letter, 1862 September 3.
17th Virginia Cavalry
Battle at Manassas (2nd Manassas; 2nd Bull Run) Manuscript #068
I cannot find any roster about the 17th Virginia Cavalry Battalion
I also searched for the 7th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry (Ashby's), which was formed by seven companies of the 17th Battalion.
Both units parteciapted to 2nd Manassas.
Could anyone help me looking for Dr Wortham and Virginia Cavalry in 2nd Manassas?
Thanks a lot
Enrico
