These records show Cisson as being admitted to the General hospital at Camp Winder, Richmond, Va on November 22, 1864. (And again December 10, 1864). He was granted a 60 day furlough on December 29, 1864, so I'm assuming he joined the group at a very late date. He was issued clothing on December 5 at the hospital and possibly presented a less ragged appearance as a result of that.
