Description
An account of the resource
The James W.M. Harris Papers consist of over 200 letters written either from or to Harris or immediate members of his family between 1857 and 1909. The majority of the letters are from James to his wife Mary, written almost entirely during the Civil War. These letters contain descriptions of the siege of Vicksburg, life in Richmond, and first hand descriptions of African-Americans during the war. Harris also frequently recounts current events during the war, as well as encounters with Belle Boyd and Jefferson Davis. Other letters are from Mary to her husband relating day to day happenings, from various family members to other family, several letters from Harris to his daughters, a lengthy letter from Harris's mother describing conditions in Mississippi during the war, and finally condolence letters to James on the death of his wife.

<h2>Transcript</h2>
<br />Washington D.C. May 23d. 64 <br /><br />Dear Home Friends, <br /><br />Yours received yesterday and I will write now to send either by mail or else by Gus Ayling who starts for home tomorrow morning with 7 other officers to be mustered out. He arrived here last Wednesday, and Thursday came up to the office. Thursday evening I spent with him (at the Theater and Friday they went to Belle Plain, and last night they came up again. He is glad enough to get out of the service I assure you, and I don't wonder. Tomorrow he starts for Boston. I wish I was going the same way but probably shant see that goodly part of the country until next Oct. Tell Annie, Cyrus’ wife that I will look for her husband if any thing happens, but I cant relieve her suspense now by visiting the 9th Army Corps hospital as that is supposed to be at Fredericksburg. The Army has been doing nothing for a few days now, and they are sending all the wounded up here so as to make room for more there. I think there is a mail from here to the Army for mails come here from the Army. Yes, I receive the papers you send and like them much. Do you receive the papers I send. I send a Sunday Chron. every week and for a week or two post a paper every day but two. I suppose you have ordered the goods all right and if you get this in season please send me one or two pairs of socks “paris marble” I believe Mr Wheeler calls them. The reason I sent for sewed boots was because almost every body here thinks them more durable, enough to make up the difference in cost. Every thing is quiet here and very little of interest to write. I follow the same routine every day. I get up, go to breakfast, go to work, go to dinner, go home, read, go to bed get up &c &c. Yesterday I went to Dr Sunderland’s church & to S.S. heard a political war sermon & a pretty good one though I did not agree with all his ideas. <br /><br />You will probably see Gus soon and he will tell you all thats going on here as well as I can, and how he found me fat & healthy. But I must close, <br /><br />Love to all friends and write soon to John
