Lieutenant William James Fisher, Civil War Soldier

My Dear Father:

I wrote to you a few days ago, but having nothing particular to do, except go on Officer of the Day every other day, and having no Company to command, I have plenty of time to think.

When I got back home [to camp] I found my company broken up and all the eight companies consolidated into two.

For the first few days I had plenty to do to straighten up my papers and get the Company Property off my hands. But I soon got through with all that and now I have nothing to do with a Company. Now I think I am temporarily attached to one.

Enclosed you will find some photographs but they are not very good and if I live to get back to some civilized place; I will have some better ones taken.

My candle is going out. No more at present. Write soon.

Your son, W. J. Fisher
