East Point Ga Sept 21. 1864.
Dear Jeff - 
			Enclosed you will
find a couple of letters, that arrived a 
few days ago.  The one I took out
off the envelope fearing that it
would become too heavy.
I hope when this reaches Hartford
you will be there to receive it.
		Things are becoming
very much mixed here since you
left.  We thought we had a sure
thing of it since they detailed
11 more of the 66th well they
have come, & now the report is
that this Corps will be consolid
ated into the 17th & 15th Corps.
You know we have had many 
similar rumors since we started
on this Campaign, & so far they

amounted to nothing.         This
time it looks more serious - in fact
we expect to be relieved in a few
days.        We blame Gen Ransom
as the chief instigator of the stink.
Well there is no use worrying
about it.
		My Health is not
good at present - I have commenced
to swell or bloat - since day before 
yesterday .- yesterday evening my
legs were full & round as a drum.
Of course walking is very painful.
What I will do if I am obliged to
go to the Comp. I can’t say.
Otherwise we are all well - Case
has just eaten a tremendous din
ner - the last few days have been
quite rainy.  Should more letters
arrive for you after I am gone, I don’t 
know whow will attend to them.
Hoping you will have all possible suc
cess in your new career I will close - remaining
		ever your friend.  William C. Fitz
