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

September 1. [Ringgold, Ga.] —We have changed our boarding-house, and are now stopping with a very nice lady by the name of Evans, who keeps an excellent table, has an abundance of milk, butter, and eggs, and only charges us one dollar per day. We paid two at the hotel.

Mrs. May called on Dr. Thornton, post surgeon here. He informed her that he had given her place in the hospital to some one else, as she was so long in coming.
