out. should here state that at this time
the wounded were all very dirty, their
clothing unchanged, veryjfew having straw
or other bedding, and some without olan-
kets. others without shirts. Even now,
five days after the battle, many were being
brought in from the fields or temporary
places of shelter, with their wounds not

the Seminary building there was some
fresh mutton and a large kettle in which
SOUP was being made. l left at this house

last one was found in a private family
and another was discovered two miles out
of the city, owned by Mr.. John }. Craig
He sent that in, with some wood, saying
that he should not want it until hog-killing
time. and would lend it. There were nc
