Card #11 of his file reads:

" . . . of the West" was destroyed and Capt. E. W. Fuller captured in Apr. 63 by Gen. Banks who reports Fuller as a great prise [sic] "King of the Swamp", long in the legislature, and at the head of the filibuster or/on? fighting element in the State (See page 303) ~ P. of W. records showing name as E. A. Fuller evidently a clerical error.

"Although from incomplete records, we cannot positively prove the Capt. of the Co. and the Capt.on the Stmr. were one and the same, yet it appears to be evidently the same man, detailed for special service ~ as indicated by the vacancy in the Co. and no other Capt. E. W. Fuller having been reported from La. on any records on file."
