BUNNELL, CENTRAL FIELD AGENT OF THE U.S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.” The page also bears a period ink inscription that reads “PRESENTED TO WILLIAM ROBERT AUMAND(?) BY HIS FATHER A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF THE UNION. MEMPHIS, TENN. JULY 4, 1864.”

The second blank page bears a period pencil inscription of “PRESENTED TO WILLIAM R. AUMAND(?)” In both inscriptions the spelling of the last name is difficult to make out.
