Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Haversack
I left this place, in company with several others, for Man asses Junction, remaining there for a day and night, when we were placed on the cars to go to Richmond. On reaching there, we were conveyed to the Hospital from the cars in ambulances. The building used for this purpose was built for an almshouse, and very comfortable. While there, we received very kind treatment, as the Sisters Of Charity had taken the whole control of it; before this was the case, we understood that the men had suffered much' from neglect. We could find no fault here with the food or our medical treatment. The doctor, who had charge of the room in which I was, treated us very kindly. There was one of our boys who was extremely ill, and he brought him constantly little luxuries from his home; but he was soon discharged, and we thought it was because he had treated us so well. Some ladies also brought us fruit, cake, candies, and other luxuries, but this stopped as soon as discovered.
