Another beautiful day, feel a little better today than usual. Received two letters, one from my dear mother and another from Mrs. Northrup, both being looked for letters and very welcome. Nothing of interest has occurred today. [another stuck-on poem; Out at the Window by A.B. Nettleton] Jan.27, Wednesday. Another beautiful day, all the works of nature seem to be joyful and why should not we join in the chorus. Felt like nature and enjoyed the glorious views from the mountains, the Blue Ridge in the distance covered with snow and the silvery Rapidan flowing at our feet. All seemed like a dream until looking along the banks of the river, the foe to one’s country can be seen and all is over. Wrote to Aunt Mercy and to Prof. N. Received paper from home, Dr. Munson sent up an application for leave of absence. [Stuck on A Review of Life by C.F. Flanders- see online for details] [36.] Note: 36. The poems ‘stuck on’ in the previous three entries are all from one specific source :”The Ladies Repository, A Monthly Periodical Devoted to Literature and Religion”,ed. Rev.D.W.Clark,DD., November Issue 1859 . Clearly someone must have left a copy of the issue at the hospital or it may have been provided by the Christian Commission for the spiritual edification of the patients.
