Martha Schofield met Sadie Brouwer Bartram in 1859 while teaching at a school in Harrison, New York, and the two remained close friends. She recently attended Quarterly Meeting where Lucretia Mott and others preached. She expresses great love and admiration for Mott. She also explains in greater detail the specific duties she carries out while volunteering at the hospital. As at the Brooklyn Hospital, they have male nurses, and the women distribute the meals and the donations as well as carry out sewing and mending duties. She says they have started drafting in her area which brings them great sorrow. She hopes the New York election will end with a Republican victory and is disappointed that Pennsylvania went to a Democrat.
