November 17th.
I am more concerned
again about clothing, especially shoes and blankets, than I expected to be,
from what I heard. Colonel Boteler is doing much, and has been the means of
greatly contributing to the comfort of our men. . . . Our gracious Heavenly Father strikingly
manifests his kindness to me by disposing people to bestow presents upon me.
. . . And so God, my
exceeding great joy, is continually showering His blessings upon me, an
unworthy creature.
