the room Is almost insufferatle, and a. for
washing them, changing their clothing, &c,
II ia almost out Of the question. The mex.
and only alternative then is this-to get
them into private families, and here arise
difficulties. or course the Surgeons cannot
attend their men scattered about all over
the country, md only one nurse can be dc. .
tailed from the company for every 10 men
SO then when n man goes to private
family, he relieves the Surgeon from all
care of him and has no nurse. Our only
way to g.vea sick man any comfort is
to bring physician and nurse, from
home. Let them be along, in the neigh.
6orhood, be employed by the Companies,
and when mnn gets really sick let US have
him tnken tpa private house, and phv-
sician and nurse and our stores accom-.
pany him. Now who will volunteer O r
on Thnt terms will they come they might
have to hang about for some time with
nothing to do, or they might very soon
have enough Of it. They canno, go with
the Camp ns part Of il and will have to
provid. for themselves and be on their own
hook. This struck me Yesterday as
the only way in which any of our men,
should they get very sick, can have such
attention as We all desire them TO have. |
throw it out for consideration. In circum.
stances lii t these our men could be washed
have tner clothing changed, SC, &c, all
cf which Is very important. Andrew Perry
is with us TO day. He says that Kershaw's
Regiment has lost about 60 men since the
battle. Although they were in warm
place in the fight, they had only men
killed. There sa great deal Of sickness
among US. We report about 800 cases to
day. $50 Of them measles. think that
after we get through with the measles, and
their consequences, if we can only have
some clear weather and dry ground, we
will get along better Many men however.
bring these things upon them by their
foolish ind'scretion, some Of them 20 out in
the rain, with measles or them. eat green
apples. &c, any thc>. Of course can expect
nothing better Than harI time.
We are, in ";her things, getting along
very well. My belief! is that We will fortry
in advanced positions around here, and
when the northern Army gets roorgauized
it vii! come on, and Manas,a will be fought
over nsain. This cannot be until about the
