4-21-1862 p2-3.
\nfor a quarter.
\n\tI saw an hundred dollar CSA currency note, made payable with eight percent interest, six months after peace is declared between the Northern states and the Southern Confederacy.
\n\tI suppose there is no mistake about the death of A. S. Johnston. Jeff Davis announced it in his message about Beauregard losing his arm. I believe it hasn\u2019t been contradicted.
\n\tGeneral McClellan is encamped within about one hundred yards of my tent. I see him nearly every day while going out or coming into camp.
\n\tThere is firing going on almost continually. There was skirmishing a few nights ago, about half mile from our camp, in which several men were killed.
\n\tIf you could have been at our dinner today you would have seen the use of tin plates. We had oysters, ham, warm bread, onions, and several other little things. We get milk in a condensed form, in a small can, for which we pay about $.75. It\u2019s a very good substitute for pure milk.
\n\tMy health is, and has been since leaving Washington, tolerably good with the exceptions of a few days. It has been raining pretty steadily for the last four days but cleared pretty well up this morning.
\nSince I last wrote, we have moved up about three or four miles, so we now are within two & half miles of Yorktown.
\nThere is mail, which runs pretty regularly from Washington to Headquarters, through which we get our letters.
\nPlease write soon and write very long letters and, if you see Uncle John\u2019s boys, tell them, if they want to hear from Yorktown, to write. I would be glad to have letters from anybody.
\nIt\u2019s so very lonely out here. Nothing to see here or read.
\nYour affectionate son, W. J. Fisher.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":4731,"height":3012,"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-300x191.jpg","width":300,"height":191,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-300x191.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-768x489.jpg","width":768,"height":489,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-768x489.jpg"},"large":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-2000x1273.jpg","width":2000,"height":1273,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-2000x1273.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"4-21-1862-p2-3.jpg","width":4731,"height":3012,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-21-1862-p2-3.jpg","filename":"4-21-1862-p2-3.jpg","filesize":4445050,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8560"}]}}
