Full Text	Fort Jefferson, Fla, Apr 7th 62 Dear Wife & Children, I am on guard duty today and have time to write but a word as the mail leaves at 3 oclock, of which I have been just informed I have nothing of importance to write, my health is better but I am not very well, but think I shall be able to do Duty if nothing breaks, regularly it is very warm here in daytime the nights are cooler and very damp heavy dew, which will keep ones clothes damp all through like a smart shower. Lieut Williams has resigned and has written home to that effect, he has had the offer of 1st Lieut but will not take it if his resignation is accepted he will probably go home soon but the Co would be better satisfyed to have him
