Scope and Content:

Letter from Sarah Low in Washington, DC, to M, dated December 6, 1863. In the letter, Low tells of how busy she has been with the patients and notes she has been trying to find something for them to do while they are convalescing at the hospital. Many of them would like to study, so they have sent for some arithmetic books for the men to begin with. Low goes on to discuss the visit from the surgeons of the Russian fleet, her belief that her patients will all recover, and the preparations for Christmas.
