Thomas Lindly, 1st Pennsylvania cavalry, shot very badly through the foot poor young man, he suffers horridly, has to be constantly dosed with morphine, his face ashy and glazed, bright young eyes I give him a large handsome apple, lay it in sight, tell him to have it roasted in the morning, as he generally feels easier then, and can eat a little breakfast. I write two letters for him.
His son, Lindly, was selected by the Board according to the expressed wish of Mrs. Comstock as superintendent. His wife is acting in the capacity of matron, but neither of them receives a salary, and they are to be paid by some friends of the work when it is established. But now pay is a matter of no consideration.
