Reported that the 51st Virginia Regt. is here for the
purpose of conducting us north for exchange. Believe nothing of the kind.
Prisoners come daily. E. P. Sanders, Rowe and myself carried our old friend Dr.
Lewis to the hospital. He was immediately admitted and we came away feeling
very sad, knowing he would live but a short time. The sick are not admitted
until they are near death, and then there is no hope for them. Rainy day.
