Eleven letters written by Ditto to his wife, in Natchez, Miss., while imprisoned at Johnson's Island; two postwar letters, written from New Orleans; and copies of his pay records, requisitions for fuel and forage for horses, and his resignation from the captaincy of his company in 1862. Subjects of the correspondence concern the progress of the war, other prisoners, religious services held in camp, the weather (particularly its impact on the availability and prices of food), family and friends, and (in postwar correspondence) his efforts to find a girl, perhaps from an orphanage, to work as an apprentice for his wife.
