Infirmary St. Francis De Sales
August 8th 1864

Dr. W. A. Carrington
Dear Sir

    Will you please send us more patients as morning reports proves, we have but five.

    I regret to have so little to do. Are there no wounded or sick coming in that could be placed under our care. We have been daily hoping to register some arrivals, but since the beginning of July have received but one.

Very Respectfully
Sister Juliana
