Capital loss on stock from private company that was dissolved

[dleonard1210]

I bought shares for a privately held company which was then acquired by another company. I have proof of purchase of the shares and a letter from the new owner stating that my shares are now worthless, but no other official forms (like a 1099-B). How/where do I report that capital loss in my tax return?
