I am searching for answers regarding my ancestor who fought in the Civil War, I have a letter that he wrote which is undated and unsigned. My grandfather passed this to me along with several other documents and letters which were dated in 1888. I believe from what I can find from my searches that he would have served in one of the companies of the 37th Mississippi Infantry. This is the letter transcribed:

"inlisted May 1862 Quitman Miss in battle at Corinth Miss Oct 3 & 4 1862
Surrendered at Vicks Burg July 4 1863 Paroled and ordered in exchange at Enterprise Miss and there remained until Exchanged in January 1864.
then join the Tennessee army at Dalton Georgia. Atlanta was Evacuated
Hood army crossed the Tennessee River in Battle at Franklin Tennessee November 29 1864 and there wounded captured at Mobile Alabama February the day I can call 1865 and was Paroled Sent Home and was at Home when Peace was Declared
This is From the best of my knowledge"

Does this information seem to fit with the 37th? Any help at all would be very appreciated.
