She is a great favorite with the men and is very successful in her nursing. Paul was very well through his term of service and was a good soldier young as he was being jolly when he got enough to eat and going without? He was 18 the spring before he went and I thought for a boy of that agate halt in the middle of a cornfield with the bullets flying round them like hail and unsling their knapsacks without flinching was pretty brave for the little boys of the 44th this was at the battle of Goldsboro of the seize of Washington they also had rather a tough time having nothing but hard tack and coffee and not enough of that.
