Friends in Lawrence sent all the popular periodi-cals and magazines; also several leading were eagerly welcomed by the boys, andpassed on from ward to ward. Miss Dix visited the hospital every month, callingall the nnrses to meet her in the matrons room. Shealways came for me, saying: Child, go qnickly aspossible; tell the nurses I wish to see them withoutdelay. She was kind and thonghtfnl for all, butvery strict in enforcing all her rules and never wasted a minute, and had no patience withthose who were slow. I shall ever remember MissDix with the warmest love and gratitnde, and withthe greatest reverence decorate her grave in MountAnbnrn every Memorial Day. My hospital memoriesare among the most pleasant of my life, — pleasantin that I was doing what the Master would approve: Inasmuch as ye did it nnto one of the least ofthese, ye did it mito me.
