About an hour after sunrise the march was resumed and at about 9ok a.m. we reached Savage Station which was the chief medical depot of the army. Here we found McClellan and his staff, innumerable hospital tents with their innumerable sick and among them many of my friends. There was Lt. Col. March with his severe wound through the neck and who recognized me at once. Col. Pratt. Capt. Stevens. Lieut. Atwood and Lt. Levant. S + A besought me to get an ambulance for them and after much difficulty I succeeded.
What horrid wounds! what bloody sights!
