should be so unfortunate as to get mired, he is beaten for half an hour then unloaded and shoveled out, again to be reloaded. It is a burning shame the way our sick are treated here they have been thrown on to a boat to be shiped north like hogs without protection, medicine, or enough to eat. A soldier is no more cared for in the Army than a hog is at home, if he lives all right, if he dies all the same. I cant help thinking but that Dr. Williams (of Alton) is to blame for this neglect, he is the Medical Superentendant of the division. I have grumbled enough for once. I hear enough every day to sicken a man so will say no more. With lots of love I remain your loveing Brother Carlie
