Description
Summary:Sumner, Charles This collection contains 3 letters, one original by John W. Sullivan and two copies of letters originally composed by A. S. Fisher. Sullivan’s letter to Sumner describes the copies of Fisher’s letters that he is including as a good representative of the “colored soldiery.” A letter dated 31 July 1863 is addressed to Captain George Pope, recently wounded and recovering in Brookline, Massachusetts, and includes Fisher’s well wishes of recovery and quick return to the men of the Mass. 54th Volunteers. The second letter, dated 14 March 1864, is addressed to “My dear ‘Friend’ and strange acquaintance”; in this letter, Fisher thanks the woman who sent him a pair of knitted socks and a note of encouragement.
