Notes two boxes of "valuable hospital supplies" were received at Hall's storeroom. Thanks Ogden for the supplies, which were "in fine order, of the best quality." Mentions that their most recent arrivals to the hospital are "a very small number of paroled prisoners" and 350 wounded soldiers from City Point. Says everything seems "very uncertain," and she believes that the grief and sadness of the nation appears to be the only definite thing.

Ogden, Sarah Morris Perot, 1831-1912
