My next experience was with my husband, whowas wounded at the battle of Belmont, and I went tocare for him until he needed me no longer. After the battle of Shiloh, I saw in a newspaperthat the Estes House had been taken for a hospitaland female nurses were wanted. It was ten oclockA. M. Avhen I read the notice, and at four p. m. I wason my way, and the next morning commenced myduties under the direction of Mrs. Wittenmeyer. I served at the Estes House one year and a half,with the exception of a few weeks leave of absenceto go to my husband, who was wounded again. Atthe end of that time a hospital was established at theMedical College, and I served there until my healthfailed. Yours truly, Mks. Pamelfa Reid. Georgetown, Mass. 105 106 OUR ARMY JULIA S.
