General Geo M L. Presson,
Augusta, Maine.

My dear General: -
Just a line this evening
we are located and doing business since
yesterday noon. Col Bell gave us two days to
get ready and we had accommodations for
20 at noon and fifty at night; and today
we have completed the house and are ready
for 200 the capacity of the house. We have
12 regular houses from [?] and 3 V.A.D's
from here also 4 orderlies from the Barracks
have 8 bad patients and have treated something
like 50 cases that have come in, have a dressing
station (#5) in charge of Dr Hill. The people in 
the neighborhood of the station think he is a
wonder and other Dr's have been at the
various hospitals especially Camp Hill, assisting
I have delivered our carr[?] Puffs and Blankets
have the others here in the house and and giving
out to social workers old for people who are
destitute. I am not trying to take receipts for
anything except in large lots as it would [?]
too much bookkeeping we know these goods are
being placed where they are doing good. Congestion
is about the same as when you left hope 
it will be better soon. Everybody is well and busy.
Will write again in a day or two if you so desire.
looks as though we would be here two to four weeks
I'll stay until I find I am in the way and
can't be of any more use.
Yours, W.C.G.
