2275 - L June 8:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "J. H. B." writes:
"A stranger passing from Baltimore to Washington would not infer that a
great war was raging in the land. There are but few soldiers visible,
the fields are cultivated and peaceful industry smiles everywhere. On
reaching Washington, although soldiers and army wagons are visible at
various points, one feels that he is no nearer the field of deadly
strife than if he were a hundred miles away.
"As we stood on the dome of the capital, (sic) our eyes were attract-
ed by a novel procession starting from a steamboat near the junction of
the East and Potomac rivers. A train of ambulances, in slow procession,
moving from a steamboat on the Potomac, suggested wounded men from the . .
army of Grant. A number of ladies were present with wine, brandy,
coffee, and crackers, who ministered to each wounded man as he came
from the boat." - - (21)
