CAMP WASHINGTON - APRIL 2ND 1863
Mr. Editor: --I have noticed in the columns of your paper, my name advertised as a deserter, of Co.H, 52d Va. Regt., which made its appearance about the 18th January, and has been kept up ever since; and to clear myself of the charge in an honorable way to the public, I will state the facts:
I was a lieutenant in the said company and regiment from its organization, 23d of July, '61 until the 1st of May, '62. At that time I was released from duty. On the 20th of September, I was ordered to enrol myself, and I did so, and at the time I asked Col. Harman the privilege to join any branch of the service and any command, and he said I might join the 5th or 52d Regt, and with that understanding, I was satisfied, as I had determined to join the 5th Regt., Co C.
On the 1st of October, I was ordered to Co. H, 52 Regt., where I stayed until the 10th of November, and was taken with the rheumatism, and I went to see the Surgeon of the Regt. five times, and he said he could not do anything for me. Then I took my knapsack and told my company that I was going to the hospital, and I did so, at Mt. Jackson, and was ordered to the Staunton hospital where I was furloughed home, and when I got able I came to this Camp and had a conversation with Gen. Imboden on the subject, and he said that the War Department had decided that officers who had been superseded had a right to join any branch of service they pleased, or any command. That right was illegally taken away from me by Col. Harman. As to being advertised as deserter, it is without foundation, for I had joined Capt. McClanahan's Battery some time before my name appeared in your columns. Now the public can see the injustice done to soldiers by some few men of this commonwealth who want to rule and ruin the people of this country and take the last dime from a soldier's wife or children if they thought it would gain 1 1/2 percent. in six months.
Who are the deserters? Is it the men that claim the right to go to what command they please, or is it the Cols., of regiments who stay at home half of the time and make thousands and multiplied thousands off of the government and poor soldiers? If this is the plan to whip the Yankees, go ahead; but I, a soldier true and faithful to my country, will try it with the big guns.
ISAAC W. AIRY
P.S. -- I had concluded to bring my piece to a close; but on hearing from home, I am bound on saying a word or two more:
I wish to know who it is that was appointed by our county court to see that each soldier's wife and children got their respective sums of money that were appropriated by that honorable body as my wife has been refused her part which she was entitled to. I suppose it was because my name was found on the list of deserters from the 52d Regt.
First, I never joined that company since I was relieved from duty on the 1st of May 1862.
Secondly, I never received any bounty from the officers of said company on which they claim to have my name, nor in fact of any officer, but of Capt. McClanahan, whose company I am in, and in which I intend to stay at all hazards.
Thirdly, I deny the charge of desertion, it being without foundation from first to last.
Fourthly, What man am I fighting for? The poor man? No sir. I am exposing my life for rich man and his negro who stays at home and fares sumptuously every day, when the soldiers have to take it cold or hot, wet or dry, and old mother earth for his bed half of the time.
Fifthly, If my wife cannot get her position of money on equality with the other ladies who are entitled to it, they can keep it. I think the neighbors will see that they do not starve while I fight the invading enemy who seeks to destroy their lives and property.
