Abstract:
Letters written to and by Miles Butterfield while he was captain of Company F (1864) and later Company C (1865) of the 5th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry. The correspondence covers his repeated attempts to resign from the army, none of which were approved. There are also requests for leaves of absence and official orders describing his next assignments. There is also a detailed letter describing a dream he had in which he explains that he would not be able to live if his wife and their baby left him.
