A LETTER FROM MRS. DYALL

Following is a letter from Mrs.
Robert Bruce Dyall, sister of Ser
geant James Leitner, who died at
Camp Wheeler hospital week before
last:
Editor Star: I cannot understand
why any members of Co.. A should
feel aggrieved at that article Meg
lected," for no word was spoken
against thems In truth l, Sergeant
Leitner's sister, have deeply felt and
highly appreciated the kindness
shown by them to him and to me.
Had it not been for c. L. Coventry,
who wrote of my brother having
measles, and Sergeant Altman, who
wired my father of his serious condi-
ton, no doubt | would not have had
the chance to have seen him before
death came.
When I reached the base hospital
early that bleak Friday morning |
found my brother delirious and with
insufficient covering. | soon obtained
two more blankets, but those with him
afterward knew he had none too much
cover then. The second complaint IS,
he had no poultices, adhesive plasters
or anything of the kind on him. Any
one knows that poultices of some kind
are applied to pneumonia cases. Let
those in doubt ask their family ply
stefan.
That ward of only two patients
Capt Drake speaks of was not pro-
vided until | arrived and asked for it
Even then it was not granted immed.
lately. I asked permission to put hot
Vick's pneumonia salve poultices or
him and that was granted but he was
too near deaths door for it to help.
The third harmful thing was, there
was to be some person of Importance
to visit the hospital that day, and the
hospital must be made sanitary i'm
mediately. The orderlies Ct presume,
were ordered with hammers to knocl
out the window sashes so they coult
be carried out and washed. Frankly
I could see very little improvement
when they were brought back. Whe1
. that bitter cold wind rushed in on tht
heads of those sick boys, | saw man!
of them snuggle under their covers
At the same time the floor was being
washed. Fancy the results. I saw
at once the i'll effect on my brother
from the noise and confusion, for hi
fever apparently was higher and h
would start. up in bed and began t.
rave harder than ever. l remon
strated to those by my window, bu
to no avail.
About the time they completed
: their cleaning up the doctor decided
to remove my brother to the ware
of two patients. When his cot wa
: rolled to the door they decided tina
that room must also be made sanf
tary, regardless of danger to life, AM
the same noises must be gone over
|, He never appeared better after that.
Many and many the time in hi
delirium did he throw the cover hal
off and would soothe him and plac
the cover back over him. Was tina
done before I was there? From al
: reports, not often.
Now who / blame for the aforesaid
, conditions is whoever could have or
dered things differently.
