Col. W. Hemphill Jones, Chief Clerk, Comptroller’s Office.
Dear Col.
No returns of the casualties in the 10th Infantry during the late battles before Richmond, Va. have been received at this office of the Adjutant General of this Army. They are looked for daily.
I, this day, wrote to D. Carle, desiring him to make inquiries for Lt Wm. J. Fisher, 10th Infantry and ascertain whether he is injured or sick in hospital, Etc., etc., as his father has not heard from him since the battles.
Yours truly
I. C. Woodruff, Major, 2nd Infantry, July 17, 1862.
