John, I write to call your attention to an article, (Times correspondence,) I have just written & sent about the Military Hospitals here—as they are so generally and sadly interesting to the public. You will easily recognize the article—I enclose you my address—write me a line about it, at your leisure—(to-morrow or next day.)
Is William in New York—or where?
The article is to be paid for.
Walt.
