Old document help

[Pootis]

Hey, wanted some help with this:
4675
From my 3x great grandfather, Daniel W. Graham's service record. It's one of two hospital tickets included, the other was for Rheumatism, but this was a different ticket. I have no clue what this says, and any help would be appreciated.

[Grey]

I want to say that the second word says Hubris? Just a guess, could be wrong.

[Pootis]

Well it's a hospital ticket, remember. Hubris wouldn't make any sense. I see an I at the beginning.

Which is why I am not sure.

[Pvt.Scott]

Well, there wasn't drugs back then, so, he wasn't on that.

[Leifr]

Possibly '___ debris'? To your knowledge was he wounded at all?

[Pootis]

It can't have been severe, otherwise he would have been put on furlough, which he wasn't.
Here's the full thing:
4694
Also, anyone know what General Order 44 was?
4695

Best is to compare the handwriting in other, more clearly written, words. Once you recogize how this person wrote which letters, you can read it more clearly.

[Pootis]

It appears that the Roll of Honor on the page above that ticket was copied by the same "J.W Wilkinson."
By comparing the letters, I've confirmed "Debris" on the second word, judging by the big loop before the first letter, and the space.

The problem is that first word. It can't be "Inj." because the last letter doesn't look like a J, nor does it line up with the way Wilkinson writes his J's. It's not an L, because he writes his "L's" with loops to the right.

Although it seems like it's the only option. Thank you for the insight, Francis. I suppose it was a minor injury, like a splinter. The only battle he might have gotten it at is Malvern Hill, on July 1st, and if it were shrapnel from such, he'd had to have lost a limb to such, and been furloughed.

Also, again, does anyone know what "General Order no. 44" for the confederates within the time period of late 1862 is?

That doesn't dismiss anyone from service though. "Gen. Order no. 44" is one of the reasons listed under why Daniel was discharged.
Also listed is the Conscript Act in other tickets. If you want to read the source, I put it in an earlier post.

[FirstDiv2Corps]

It's not the word "debris."

It's "Int. Febris." Febris is Latin for fever, Int short for intestinal. Meaning he had "intestinal fever", i.e, malaria.

[Pootis]

Ouch.
Thank you very much! I was kind of scratching my head about that. Guess that is shorter to write than "Intestinal fever".
