Lieutenant William James Fisher, Civil War Soldier

My Dear Father:

Since my last letter we have again been moved to Sykes’s Division and you will change your direction accordingly and also write to the Editors of the News and give them my proper address. I believe they have never addressed a paper correctly to me yet. The last one I got was directed to 2nd Division, Hooker’s Corps.

We got orders today to report to General Sykes for duty and, I suppose, before twenty four hours more, we will be under his command.

I received a letter from Aunt Angie a few days ago in which she told me of the death of several Delaware Volunteers.

I haven’t got a letter from Sis in several days, perhaps two weeks, although I wrote to her. I also wrote to G. F. Callaway at Milford.

Nothing else at present. My love to all. Your Son,

W. J. Fisher
