Sept. 16, 1863 Dear Wife, I am writing by the side of Carlos who is the sickest in the ward. There are seven sick in the ward. There are 28 wards and the feverish men in this ward of any of them. They average from 7 to 12 in a ward, most of the men are recovering. One man died last night in the 25th Mass. Carlos is very sick with typhoid fever. He has a little dyorheau but not bad. I thought last night that he would not be alive tonight but he has revived a little today but we do not know what turns the fever will take. Thursday 17th Carlos says I must not give too much encouragement but think he is doing nicely. He is very poor and will take a long time to get his strength if he lives. He can get up over the sick chair with a little help. I feel more encouraged about him this morning than I have before since I came here but still I do not think him out of danger. We have two good nurses in this ward that pay their whole attention to the sick. One of them are always at the call of the patients. I went off for my meals the first two days. Paid 35 cents per meal & lodge in the ward. I have felt pretty well most of the time & took some salts Tuesday night which was the first passage I have had since leaving N.H. I vomited freely and purged excessively and have felt better since. I wrote 4 letters Monday, 1 home, 1 to Mary, 1 to Ellen Smith, and 1 to Lieutenant Quimby* at Paris. The favors I received of Ellen Smith are of much service to me & think much of their kindness. The Dr. visits the hospitals twice a day. He has fist been in with a Doctor from Ohio that came up with me. He says Carlos doing well and be up in a few days. If Carlos gets a furlow to go home, as Lieutenant Quimby told me he thought he would, he will go home if he gets able. I do not think I shall go with him as I wish to be at home by the first of Oct. If anything should happen that I do not have Joshua or J. C. Potter take the books and papers to Enfield and have the returns made out and sent in to Washington. All right, it is dark and I cannot write more now. Yours Truly, H. C. George To E. L. George H. Baxter Quimby, Co. H; b. Lisbon; age 22; res. Lisbon, cred. Lisbon; enl.
