Very happy to receive supplies for both the workers and the sick soldiers from the latest boat shipment. Dorothea Dix also provided ten boxes of food. Says, "the question has been, not how much can they eat, but how little they can exist upon." Discusses her work as a nurse, and how she has "the command of the hospital... I have hitherto held the rank of "General" but last evening was promoted- am now Major General." She is in contact with a few Washington officials, and is "able to put a stop to some outrages of which I am keeping record." Five new nurses have arrived from Boston.
