Writes from "Barton." Letter is signed "Lizzie." Notes she received a letter from General Thomas, telling her of small pox in his family. Writes of difficulties with the mail, in which a letter sent for Ogden has evidently been lost. Stresses that Ogden should print the word, "Private," over the seal so that only she will open the letter. Says that John Arnold will be able to pick up his pay from the Pay Master General. Asks about the Broad and Cherry Hospital, wishing that she could be there. Informs Ogden that she will be returning in a few weeks.
