Note  #1.  Artillery  equipment  listed  dates  from  April  and   may
           have changed.

Note #2.  The   horse  artillery  shown   was   assigned   to 
          J.E.B.Stuart's cavalry corps in May.  The cavalry corps 
          is  still present,  and though the source document does 
          not  indicate the presence of this  battalion,  it  was 
          probably still present, as September abstracts state a
          strength of 254 effective horse artillery assigned to 
          the cavalry corps under the command of Chew.
