Today Mother received a note from Dr. Walser, the physician
of the Hospital at Quarantine, saying that 250 wounded and sick are expected
tomorrow and that his provisions were most insufficient, so we have been very
busy trying to get some new things to help him. The letter came at 5 P.M., and
now at 10:30 A.M., we have already got $100! to pay sewing women, seven pieces
of cotton, 12 made shirts, 22 cut out, slippers, etc. This is doing pretty
well, I think.
