there is a diversity of opinion here among officers and men. If they seem to acquiesce in the opinion of such men as Adjutant Crocker, who appears to be deeply in earnest, and who looks and speaks like a brave and honest man, they do not generally red asked for me. The surgeon in charge, Dr. James Simmons, had referred her to me. When I presented myself, she said: Adjutant Crocker, I wish to do something for your men. I do not mean mere words.
