Arrived in Baltimore
at 7 A. M. Had breakfast, then made our way across the city to the Philadelphia
R. R. Station. There learned that we could not get a train out of the city
until 9 P. M. A great disappointment. When leaving camp thought we could
connect right through to New York. As we had a long time to wait, we put up at
the Union House. Made a few calls, as we had acquaintances in the city. Called
at the Stuart Mansion Hospital, where I was during my long illness, early in
1863. I found the nurses still on duty. All were pleased to see me. One woman
and two men, in charge of ward 4. At this time it was known as the Jarvis
Hospital, west end of Baltimore. The day passed very pleasantly.
