Major General Wallace encloses "a list [not present] of wounded officers first arrived from the front. They are now at the depot in a sleeping car. Some of them will probably come here tonight. The rest ought by all means to be removed to the Hospital tonight..." Includes two endorsements by Surgeon J. Simpson on verso.
