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

October 21.—Mr. H. C. Jole of the Thirty-seventh Mississippi Regiment died to-day. The hospital is filled with men from Knoxville; they come in by the hundred, and all who are able are sent off again to other points. Many of them I never see.

News has just come that Bragg has had to abandon Kentucky, as he did not get the aid he expected from the people. This is a sad blow to us.
