Kate Cumming: A Journal of Hospital Life in the Confederate Army of Tennessee.

January 4.—It has rained so hard today that I have been unable to visit the wards.

It is rumored that there will be a raid here soon, from Rome. No one seems to give the rumor credit. There is a direct road from here to that place.

Had a visit in the afternoon from Drs. Reesse and Burks. Dr. B. was in Columbus when Mrs. Ogden went there, and said he never regretted any thing more than her leaving that place. He said the Mobile ladies had done much good during their short stay there.
