Our army nurses : interesting sketches and photographs of over one hundred of the noble women who served in hospitals and on battlefields during our late Civil War, 1861-65 . ithnine hundred sick and wounded, and on the 12th hadan accident to the boat, by running into a snag, butit did not damage the hull or hurt any of the next day the boats were lashed together for pro-tection, as the shores were occupied by the we arrived in safety the 14th. In such ways my time was spent. My lot wasabout the same as that of other nurses, so far asI know. I attended strictly to the sick, irrespectiveof rank or personal pleasure. I continued the workuntil June, 1864; then being tired out, and knowingthe war must soon close, I resigned. During the time I was on duty I had many pleas-ant incidents, as well as many very sad ones; andamong the saddest was writing to wife or motherthat the dear one was dead. This I found no smalltask, as the men were of all nationalities, and itrequired much thought to express what I I can simply say that in this, as in other things,I tried to do my best. LucT L.
