 New Haven hospital:
 have to thank you for your note of the 18th inst. As you know by this time we sent you fifteen instead of eight patients and again fifteen this forenoon, much to the relief of the con- gested state here. The boat has or ders to carry to you fifteen patients each day until you have all that you can care for. Please inform me by tele- gram when you have sufficiency, so that the services of other hospitals may be promptly utilized"
 Although in the letter Dr. Hinsman speaks of fifteen patients having been sent Saturday, as a matter of fact eighteen were sent then. Those of the number received yesterday were not so sick as those of either of the other two numbers. The men who were sent over Saturday were the sickest ones yet sent. One of those who had typhoid fever died at the hospital at o'clock yesterday morning. He was James G. Walters, troop D, 9th United States cavalry of Knox Fork, Knox county, Ky.

After consult ing with General Merwin, president of the hospital society, Superintendent Starkweather decided to see that the dead soldier was buried in New Haven. It is though that the G. A.
