Lieutenant William James Fisher, Civil War Soldier

My Dear Father:

I received yours of 6th Inst. this morning and you may be sure I was very glad to hear from you. And be here after. I wish that you would write at least two letters per week and also to answer my letters immediately after receiving them.

I am very glad you called my attention to that word. I have often noticed that in writing I spelled it wrong and once or twice before my attention has been called to it. But now I think I will try and remember it. I wish you would enclose me a half dozen postage stamps as I am very near out and have no chance of getting more.

I should like to see little Eliza Emily but I suppose I shant have a chance. I am glad to hear she can talk and say Brother Will.

But I hope to be home within a year anyhow.

My address is———10th Infantry Head Quarters, Hooker’s Grand Division, Army of the Potomac, Ica Washington, D.C., In care of Maj. Hayden, Provost Marshall.

My love to all, Your son, W. J. Fisher
