A request for information surrounding the fate of Augustus Baldwin Fairchild appeared today in the New Haven Daily Palladium:
Should this little paragraph chance to meet the eye of any member of Co. A, 27th reg., and he can furnish us with any facts tending to throw light upon the military history of A[u]gustus B. Fairchild of that company, at and since the battle of Fredericksburg, he will confer a favor, not only upon the Palladium, but upon many near and dear friends who are still agitated with the conflicting reports, concerning his supposed death. 1
