Following the war, Githens returned home to Hamilton, Illinois, where he owned a number of pharmacies. ALS. Two pages, 7 3/4” x 9 3/4”. Camp of Detachment 14 A.C. Chattanooga Tennessee. November 22, 1864. William Githens writes to his wife, in part: “ … We have been very uncomfortable several days but finally today although quite cold we have got our fireplace in operation … there is some talk of this Corps being sent to Bridgeport soon - but then of course there is nothing definite till we start. I am very sorry that I did not get back in time to go with my command, but its too late now and I must make the best of it - I am more sorry on account of missing my pay… we have had it so rough lately that I have become more tired of the service than ever but when I can leave it is quite another thing … ” Usual folds. Fine.
