"Who wrote it and what does it con-
tain?"
LET me tell you a story before an
swering your double question. In 1864,
while following Grant toward Rich
mond. and when we had come so close
to it that they could hear our musllets
and we their church bells, Twas stricken
with fever and sent to hospital. In
time they landed me, more dead than
alive, in one of the great hospitals at
Washington. 1 was very sick boy.
Eoy is right, for that was all 1 was
sweet 16, as a girl of that age would
he. For three weeks had no ambition
to live.
Zone day, after I had passed the dam
ger point and was taking little notice
of what was going on, a number of
ladies came through the hospital. They
had baskets containing delicacies and
bouquets of beautiful flowers. One of
them stopped at each cot as they passed
along. A bunch of blossoms was hand
ed to each sick or wounded soldier, and,
if he desired it, delicacy of some kind
was also distributed. Every now and
then one of the women sat in a camp
chair and wrote a letter for the poor
fellow who hadn't the strength to write
himself.
II wanted nothing to eat or drink,
but those pretty posies held my atten-
tion. One of the ladies stopped at my
cot. 1 hadn't yet got my full growth,
and in my then emaciated, pale.condi-
tion 1 must have looked like u child.
She seemed surprised as she looked at
me-.
"'You poor child; what brought you
here?'
"'They sent me here from the army of
the Potomac

courage. You are going to get well;

"She was the first woman who had
spoken to me since L reached the army.
Looking at the sweet flowers which Mr..
Lincoln had helped to GULL and think
ing of the dear woman who had spoken
so kindly and hopefully, had more eff
feet in Frightening my spirits than al
else that had occurred in the hospital.
"Three days later the same lady came
again, and direct to my cot.
"'How is my little soldier boy to-
day" she asked, in a way so motherly
that it reminded me of my good mother
back in New York, the patriot mother
who had given her consent to my GO
ing to the war after praying over the
matter many times. That hospital
