In a letter written by L. to the newspaper dated -
“Newbern, N.C. March 31st, 1862.
“… In the hospital appropriated to the wounded in this city, two men died on Saturday last from injuries received in the recent battle. ..., Willard Steere, [Private, D, March 29, 1862, died of wounds received at Newberne, N.C. Gunshot wound] from Burrillville, R.I., belonged to the 4th Regiment from that State. They were both great sufferers, and while everything was done for them that the nature of their wounds admitted, it was a cause of congratulation when death came to their relief. Our other wounded men, with few exceptions, are in a hopeful condition – many of them in a far more promising state than the Surgeons dared a few days ago to hope.”

… “In Carolina City, N.C., on the 11th ult., of Typhoid Fever, Corporal William Sherman Denham, of Co. G, 4th Regiment R.I.V., aged 18 years, 11 months and 10 days.
In communicating the sad intelligence of the death of this young man, Col. Tew says “he died in a just and holy cause. He was always at his post in the hour of danger, and at the battle of Newbern was in the thickest of the fight, and acted well his part. He was loved by all who knew him, and has filled a hero’s grave.” Captain Hopkins says: - “William was an exemplary young man, and enjoyed a conspicuous place in the affections of both officers and men of the company to which he belonged.”
