The last two days spent with pleasant friends — one day with
Miss M. M., and the other with my old acquaintance, Mrs. Dr. F., of the “White
Post.” These ladies, like all others, are busy for the soldiers. To-day I
received a copy of “Headley
Vicars,” abridged for the camp, by my friend J. J. Mr. M. will take it
to-morrow to the camp, when he goes with the wagon. To-day we have been helping
the Bishop to pack a barrel of grapes, and another with tomatoes and other
fresh vegetables; and yet another Mrs. M. has packed with bread, biscuit, and a
variety of things for the sick.
