Diary of a Southern Refugee During the War by Judith White McGuire

July 26.—Spent the day at the hospital. Mr. —— has just received a post chaplaincy from Government, and is assigned to the Officers’ Hospital on Tenth Street. For this we are very thankful, as the performance of the duties of the ministerial office is in all respects congenial to his taste and feeling. I pray that God may give him health and strength for the office!
