Written on stationery from Hammond General Hospital in Point Lookout, Maryland. Updates Gibbons on the events at the hospital and complains about the quality and abilities of the nurses appointed by Dorothea Dix. Is happy to accept the eight women Gibbons recommended, who he will make room for by discharging some of Dix's "pets". Hopes that she will return to work at the hospital, saying "there is no place you could do more good, or where your labors would be more kindly appreciated."
