My Dear Father:

I have delayed writing to you or a considerable time expecting to find out something about the matter of your coming out here and my coming home, but as yet I cannot tell how it will turn out. The probability is that it will not go through. Col. Clark told me that the paper came back disapproved by Gen. Jones and he seemed to be out of humor about it. He said he had Col. Fornsberg's consent and he didn't see why Gen. Jones did not approve it. He said I should write you and tell you that the paper came back unapproved but that he was not going to give it up and would go see General Jones himself in a few days and see if he could put it through. As soon as I hear anything different about it I will write or come myself if so be that it goes through 0. K.   I believe that I have no strange news to write at this time. I am still enjoying good health and getting along as well as you could expect for a soldier to do. I have been up at the widow Litz  several times since you left and do you know I tried every way to give her pay for your board and staying there not one cent would she have and I could not make her take pay, she says she does not do business that way. They are just as clever folks as I ever got acquainted with. Well I have nothing more to write unless I fill it out with foolishness and as today is the sabbath it would not be prudent to do so, in fact I have already written more on business than I like to do on Sunday. The boys are all well and join me in sending their respects to you. With the best wishes for your welfare, both spiritual and temporal, I close hoping to hear from you soon.  

Your devoted Son, 
Thomas W. Fisher
