mr. robinson is about 17. half of his leg is a solid sore. he wails most dolefully. we find it impossible to assuage his pain. it's like this all over the first part of the diary. cumming is careful in the first months. she provides the names and regiments of the men she nurses. she goes home with the deposition of the property so relatives can come claim it. by the second year for service, she has scaled back her effort. men die nameless in amputation wars. men brought in at night are dead by morning. the stretcher bearers have not the least idea of the names. you see this terrible pall fall over hospital work. 1864, she goes for six weeks without drafting a single entry like she had previously been doing every couple of days. in the last dismal months of the war, she writes only sporadically, abandoning mosttive for a practice closely resembling medical charting. when a soldier of the third florida infantry dies unexpected leak, she knows he's one of five brothers have died in service. when a record in these few words. she simply alludes to language she cannot crea
