              <text>H’d Q’rs,  Dist. Virginia,&#13;
Provost Marshal’s Office,&#13;
Norfolk, Oct 21st, 1863&#13;
Dear Father&#13;
Not hearing (heard) from&#13;
you for some time I thought&#13;
that I would take advantage&#13;
of the few leisure moments&#13;
that I now have and write&#13;
you a few lines. since I&#13;
wrote to you there has been a&#13;
conciderable change made in&#13;
the situation of the 21st Regt&#13;
and myself also.  shortly &#13;
after I wrote the Provost Marshal&#13;
was put under arrest for some&#13;
cause not known to me and &#13;
in consequense of which the&#13;
Office was discontinued which&#13;
was the means of my being returned&#13;
to my Company. I remained&#13;
with the company four days&#13;
[page 2]&#13;
and was then Detailed as Mail&#13;
Agent. I had charge of the&#13;
Mails for two weeks in &#13;
the mean time the Regt was&#13;
ordered to move from Portsmouth&#13;
to Norfolk which took place&#13;
about three weeks ago. Maj&#13;
Bovey the then Provost Marshal&#13;
of Norfolk resigned and&#13;
Maj Crosby was appointed&#13;
his successor.  he immediately&#13;
after entering upon his Duties&#13;
had me Detached from the&#13;
Regiment and took me&#13;
in the Office with him where&#13;
I am at the present time&#13;
I am more his second Clerk&#13;
and have Charge of all the&#13;
Office Books. I do not have&#13;
much spare time for pleasure&#13;
I am in the Office from 9&#13;
A M. untill 4 P.M.  and&#13;
From 7 untill 9 in the &#13;
[page 3]&#13;
evening. I am writing constantly&#13;
all the time and I tell you &#13;
I am pretty tired when&#13;
my days work is done. I&#13;
am now as usual enjoying&#13;
very good health with the&#13;
exception of a little cold.&#13;
I have a Boarding place &#13;
and live nearly as well as&#13;
I would at home. I board&#13;
with a private family and&#13;
they treat me with much &#13;
respect although I am&#13;
a Nasty Yankee. Norfolk&#13;
is a very large City as conta-&#13;
ins some nineteen thousand&#13;
inhabitants it is a very bad&#13;
place for young men. there &#13;
are some 50 or 60 houses of&#13;
Ill fame here and in most&#13;
every store they sell liquor&#13;
Oh it is awfull to see the&#13;
quantities of young men&#13;
[page 4]&#13;
that were once steady and honest&#13;
now brought down to the grade&#13;
of an inebriate + a Thief. Oh&#13;
I can mention lots + lots of &#13;
young fellows that were once&#13;
the pride of their Familys&#13;
now are common Drunkards.&#13;
yes Norfolk is a wicked place&#13;
and I pity the man that&#13;
has to stay here and that has&#13;
not got the power to controll&#13;
his Desires + Passions. Thank&#13;
God I have a will of my&#13;
own and have the strength&#13;
to controll myself in all things.&#13;
My young experience in the &#13;
life of a Soldier has taught&#13;
me a great lesson and I&#13;
shall always profit by it.&#13;
I am to day as strong and hearty&#13;
as any man in the Army while&#13;
many who when they left home&#13;
were enjoying the beast of&#13;
 [page 5]&#13;
Norfolk, Oct 20 1863&#13;
health are now dwindled down&#13;
to mear skin + bones and &#13;
many are now in their Graves&#13;
and what has caused most &#13;
of this Liquor and the pleasures &#13;
the world affords, the temptation&#13;
of woman. yes I have seen all &#13;
this been amongst the whole&#13;
and can yet say that I am&#13;
Inocent of all and thus shall&#13;
I always as long as life lasts&#13;
be able to say the same. I&#13;
was very much Disappointed&#13;
a while ago about coming &#13;
home. I expected a Furlough&#13;
had my papers made out&#13;
and Maj Crosby carried&#13;
them to Genl Getty but he&#13;
had received orders that&#13;
[page 6]&#13;
day not to grant any more&#13;
Furloughs so I could not&#13;
come but I am contented&#13;
as long as I know that you &#13;
are all well and hope the&#13;
day is not far distant when&#13;
I can again be with you &#13;
never to be gone so long again.&#13;
I never hear from Del now&#13;
A lady wrote to me and&#13;
said that Del claimed it&#13;
was me that led him&#13;
astray. Oh he knows better&#13;
if he did say so for there &#13;
never were two more steady&#13;
young men in the city of&#13;
New London than Del and&#13;
I when we were togeather&#13;
and he wrongs me very &#13;
much in talking in&#13;
the way I hear he does&#13;
but let him go on he will&#13;
not make anything by&#13;
[page 7]&#13;
it. He will find out that I will&#13;
prove to the Inhabitants of&#13;
New London that I am a&#13;
Man and an Honorable one&#13;
at that and can prove him &#13;
false in all he says of me&#13;
and of one other person&#13;
that he has wronged. he &#13;
is a Coward and a liar&#13;
and I would make him&#13;
swallow his words if I&#13;
had a hold of him. But&#13;
enough of this. I am sorry&#13;
for him and do honestly pity&#13;
him. I must now close. I&#13;
hope these few lines will find &#13;
you and Mother well and&#13;
also the rest of the family.  give&#13;
my love to Mother and all &#13;
inquiring friends.  answer&#13;
soon and I remain&#13;
Your Loving Son&#13;
ThS K Pimer&#13;

			February 27th, 1865&#13;
Dear Father&#13;
	Yours of the 18th inst was&#13;
received this morning after being nine days on&#13;
the rout, the letter went to Norfolk and was&#13;
forwarded from there to me. I was very &#13;
glad to hear from you and to know that all&#13;
were well at home. I was getting quite anxious&#13;
in regards having not heard from you only&#13;
through George for two long months&#13;
	George writes to me quite often and I&#13;
am indeed very much pleased to know&#13;
that He apreciates my letters and is so&#13;
well pleased with them. I endeavor to&#13;
make my letters interesting and also&#13;
encourageing.  He in return writes me&#13;
some very interesting and affectionate&#13;
letters. I take a great interest in Him&#13;
and his welfare more so than I do eather&#13;
of the other Boys and hope he will be&#13;
able to prosper in his business&#13;
&#13;
[page2]&#13;
I received a letter from him this morning also and shall&#13;
answer tomorrow.&#13;
You spoke of my being carefull and guard&#13;
against Influence among my acquaintences&#13;
which might involve trouble you think there&#13;
might be some special attractions there you&#13;
thought just right that time, fore there is indeed&#13;
quite an attraction there and a “Female” at&#13;
that and with said “Female” I have enjoyed&#13;
many pleasant hours.  you say such would&#13;
be very well for a past time but I cant see&#13;
it in that light in this case. I am very&#13;
much affraid it will be for a “Life time”,&#13;
unless something happens to prevent such&#13;
an event. but as for my getting into trouble&#13;
you need not think of such things never&#13;
fear for me Father whatsoever I do will&#13;
be done right.  there is indeed a huge Cage&#13;
which confines this Bird and I think&#13;
sufficiently Strong to keep me within&#13;
its enclosure.  at least for the next Six&#13;
months to come after that time I know &#13;
nothing but shall hope for the best,&#13;
and shall endeavor to come out all right&#13;
and knowing that I have your Confidence&#13;
&#13;
[page3]&#13;
will greatly help to keep me on the right path.&#13;
I was informed of the accident which&#13;
happened to Mr Badett and hope he will&#13;
recover and not entirely loose his sight&#13;
it would be dreadfull for him to be totally&#13;
blind and would cause much suffering&#13;
in his family if he was without any&#13;
means of doing business. I am also very&#13;
sorry to hear of Mrs Chapells Death but&#13;
old folks like her were never expected to&#13;
live always and I trust she is better off &#13;
in Heaven than here on Earth.&#13;
	You are very likely posted in regards&#13;
to the recent Victories of our armies, it&#13;
has caused great excitement amongst the&#13;
soldiers, and the effects of it on the Rebs&#13;
is astonishing and has caused the utter&#13;
demoralization of their armies to have begun&#13;
Deserters from “Lees” army are pouring&#13;
into our lines at this point nearly&#13;
two hundred have come in since the &#13;
fall of Charleston and they say that&#13;
more are deserting and returning to &#13;
their homes than there are comeing&#13;
into our lines, in a short time “Lee”&#13;
&#13;
[page 4]&#13;
will have no army to command if they &#13;
continue to come in as they have done&#13;
for the past two weeks.&#13;
	We have executions of Soldiers here&#13;
most every day for Desertion, there has&#13;
been nine Shot within the past two&#13;
weeks, and sorry to say they most all&#13;
belonged to the 10th Conn Regt but&#13;
they were recruits and all Bounty jumpers&#13;
from New York.  they are not Conn&#13;
men and the State is therefor clean&#13;
of all blame.    I expect there will be&#13;
a move on this line before many days &#13;
they are prepareing for it now and&#13;
I hope when next I write you it will&#13;
be mailed in the City of Richmond&#13;
	I must close now so give my love&#13;
to all inquireing friends “Female” &#13;
and my Respects to all “Male” friends&#13;
“Ha””Ha”.  answer soon and I remain&#13;
