Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 26 series regarding Confederate Prisoners held at Point Lookout and 12 series regarding Confederate Prisoners held at Elmira, NY in the War Department Collection of Confederate Records (Record Group 109). Without more information, we are unable to determine which series contains the listing with the annotations that you cannot read.
Please send a copy of the listing and the identifying citation (record group & series title) to the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov. They may be able to assist you with deciphering the annotations.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
