To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUSs:
Myself and family are constant readers of yeur
valuable and very interesting paper, and among
all the good things il contains find the soldiers,
in their gratitude do not forget the kindly minis
trations of their sister comrades in the squaily
times of the rebellion. IN that connection wish
TO mention the name Of Miss Jane b. Moore, whose
work at Baltimore all the soldiers of the Army OF
the Shenandoah in 1864 wiil-readily remember.
She could be seen constantly driving around the
camps. inqHiring diligently for soldiers who might
be SICK. or from any cause needed anything more
nourishing than the army rations could afford
and when sneh were found would sit by them and
in kind sistery way would inquire into all their
wants, and, if she could not furnish them on the
| spot, would make note of them and be sure tc
meet the requirements the next day.
She would sit Tor hours around the camps, writ
! ing letters home for soldiers who might be sick
otherwise not able to write themselves or read
for them. do anything that mortal could do tc
alleviate their distress and make them comfortable
The soldiers all looked upon her with reverence
and II the boys were engaged in any rough game. on
seeing her approach they would immediately cease
and put respectful air, speaking to her kindly
! as she passed by. There were other good sisters
through the camps 81 the time, but do not know
/ their names. hope the Army of the Shenandoah
VIII not forget those angelic comrades. but glv'
them their dues in the shape OF honorable mention
/ in the history OF the great rebellion that may b
passed down 10 their posierity.
