Circa September 1863

Miss Anna M. Welles, Glastonbury, Conn. Circa September 1863

My Dear Miss Welles:

I read a letter from your brother Robert, written at Glastonbury Conn., requesting one from me,] on Sep. 18; enclosing his photograph and one of my dear departed son, and also giving a very satisfactory account of the scene at, and before, the battle, which proved to be his last.

I was under the necessity of procuring copies before I could furnish Lt. Welles and have been subjected to great delay in procuring them. I now, however, enclose two. I hope you will do us the kindness to enclose your own to my address.

I address this letter to you because I do not know where Lt. Welles is. Will you be kind enough to inform me, as I wish to write to him again, making inquires about the affair of my departed boy.

I also desire to ascertain where Lt. Hamilton is.

I. M. Fisher
