decipher US Army discharge 1878

[Erato]

Can anyone decipher the last four words?

"Discharged aug. 16 1878 for disability at Columbus, O[hio]   ..... "

____ deep ____ wound (w'd)   

Sorry, not very good at these things, but thought I"d give it a bash.

I've been staring at those words and can't figure them out. But I wonder if they are all abbreviations.

Are there any other similar word groupings on the same page?

It could be something like ... Dup Cert. rec’d
e.g. Duplicate Certificate received

[Erato]

I think you're right, Bookbox.  I have read through many pages of discharged soldiers and found a few clearer examples of the same notation.  No idea what it means, though, in relation to the discharge of Emerson Mitchell.

Here are some of the best examples I found:

I would guess it means that the soldier had received a duplicate copy of the discharge certificate?

Or perhaps the appropriate army office had received a duplicate of the certificate given to the soldier?

In any case, I don't think it tells you anything more about the man himself.

Maybe, but the majority did not get this notation in their records.
