Our services were appreciated by those amongwhom we labored, as testimonials held by more thanone of my colaborers would prove. One day uponentering my ward I was halted, but instead of beingconfronted by sword or bayonet, a purse was putinto my hand, accompanied by a nicely-wordedaddress, as a token of the regard and gratitude ofmy patients. The original address is treasured amongmy keepsakes. I was always treated with respect andkindness while in the service, and those to whom Iministered seemed to me more like brothers thanstrangers. I went by the authority of Miss Dix, and servedunder Miss Buckel for nearly eight months, thenreceived my discharge Sept. 23, 1865, and returnedto my Iowa home, having no regrets that I hadbeen an army nurse. Yours in F., C. and L., Mrs. Emma Fren^ch-Sackett. Middle River, SARAH K. CLARK, ARMY NURSE. Winona, MiifN.
