A dark gloomy day. Sister Sarah seems much depressed -- no wonder. [ The following lines were left out of the typescript by Mary Dawes Beach: Mr. D. doing all he can to injure her and both her boys in the army and liable any day to fall on the battlefield; but we trust in God & He will not make us ashamed of our hope.] The rebel prisoners are being sent to St. Louis, Indianapolis Chicago, Columbus, &c. Our wounded are also being sent to Cincinnati and other places. The Sanitary Commission are doing a good work in caring for them.
