Rockview Cottage
6 mo 4th 1864 –
My dear
Anne,
From cloud land do I now address thee it has
been raining, raining for days – but we cannot wish it
otherwise as it will raise the mountain springs which were
beginning to fail rapidly it has been rather an anxious care
with us to watch the springs for fear they would give out
before the cisterns were prepared to save the water and the
steam pumps were fixed so that the pure water might be
available for the sick in the Hospitals there are but about
500 patients now but it is hoped that the large field
Hospital at Chattanooga may soon be moved up here and
probably two thirds of the patients that would otherwise die
might recover I think there had been but four deaths since
the Hospital was established here The air is so fine and
the water running
