Miss Alcott's life was not given up
wholly to the writing of stories. how

and her nature was OF kind which de
lights in good deeds done to others.
During the war she threw her soul into
the work of caring for the wounded
soldiers, and so injured her health that
It was never afterwards fully restored.
She died not long since, regretted as
