We have heard nothing new to-day confirming the report of
the surrender, which is perhaps the reason my spirit feels a little more light.
We must hope, though our prospects should be as dark as the sky of this
stormy night. Our wounded are doing well — those who remain in our hospital and
the convalescents have been ordered to “Camp Jackson.” Indeed, all the patients
were included in the same order; but Miss T. having represented that several of
them were not in a condition to be removed, they have been allowed to remain
where they are.
Colonel R. is improving, for which we are most thankful.
