Lieutenant William James Fisher, Civil War Soldier

My Dear Father:

I received a letter from you yesterday dated July 15th.

Since being in this camp, I think, this is the fifth or sixth letter that I have written to you. I see now where you address your letters; you omit the name or either the no. of my Regiment, which may be the cause of my not receiving your letters more regularly. Be sure to put in 10th Infantry, Sykes Brigade, Washington D. C. All the letters or papers that I have received lately have been addressed Lieut. W. J. Fisher, Sykes Brigade, Washington D. C. Send more of those papers and be sure to give them the proper directions about the Regiment to which I belong I think we will be in this camp for two months yet or at least until we get reinforcements.

My health, since being in this camp, has been very good and I don’t think I ever felt better than I do at the present time.

We are to be reviewed tomorrow by General McClellan.

I don’t know of anything else to write at present. Please write soon. My love to all including Dick and Tom

Your affectionate son, W. J. Fisher
