My
dear
Sister
,
Thro
' the
kindness
of a
Va
.
lady
I
can
write
to
you
now
to
let
you
know
how
I
am
getting
along
,
tho1
I
am
not
able
to
write
myself
.
My
wound
is
getting
on
pretty
well
now
tho
a
short
time
ago
it
was
very
painful
.
I
have been
sick
-
but
I
am
better
now
,
yet
at
times
I
suffer
with
my
head
. This
is
the
twentieth
day
since
my
leg
was
amputated
, and
tho
I
wrote
my
brother
an
account
of
it
, for
fear
he
did
not
receive
my
letter
I
will
write
again
the
nature
of
my
wound
.
I
was
shot
the
first
day
of the
fight
near
Orange
,
C
.
H
. and was
struck
with a
minnie
ball
directly
in the
front
of the
leg
-
the
left
leg
-
just
below
the
knee
-
ranging
up
to the
knee
.
My
leg
was
amputated
just
above
the
knee
on the
field
the
next
morning
after
I
was
wounded
.
I
have
kind
attention
of
every
sort
and
could
not be
better
situated
in a
hospital
. The
surgeons
are
very
attentive
and the
nurses
very
kind
. A
great
many
1adies
came
in to
see
me
and
bring
me
flowers
and
different
things
that
I
want
. The
surgeon
speaks
hopefully
of
my
recovery
and
I
am
in
great
hope
of
getting
well
.
You
must
tell
Sister
Carrie
that
I
would
write
to her, but
I
am
so
weak
as to be
unable
to
write
at
all
, but
my
friend
,
Mrs
.
Smith
-
who
is
writing
this for
me
-
says
she will
write
to her for
me
in a
few
days
. The
Dr
.
says
it
will
take
me
sixty
days
to
get
well
enough
to
travel
about
. Then
I
suppose
it
must
be
about.four
months
from this
time
before
I
get
well
enough
to
get
home
. If,
however
,
it
should
please
God
to
take
me
away
.
I
have the
consolation
of
knowing
that
I
have "a
friend
that
sticketh
closer
than a
brother
"
-
in
whom
_I_
_will_
_trust_
.
Your
afflicted
brother
,
R
