This a.m. attended my
first post mortem Examination.
Dr. Brown was chief operator.
Removed skull + brain. Very
bad congestion on right side
cerebrum. Took out both cere-
brum + cerebellum. I tried a
few parallel sections of one
lobe with the knife. A very fine case.
Maj. Gen. Dix +
staff visited us today, with
family. Miss D. said she
Page 57:
was fascinated with my account
of p.m. Examination. Laughable. Gen. D. shaking hands
with me at the wharf said;-
“tell Gen. J that I was sorry
not to have seen him and that
I am very much gratified
with appearance of things on
the Island.”
They think of making
Gen. D. Vice President.
A. Lincoln is renominated
for President.

And my tent mate Wead is
killed. Morris is gone also.
Lemont, too. + Harris is
wounded of 5th. Thus they fight. Did
the world even witness the
like? Harry Stinson, Howards
A.D.C. mortally wounded. Alas
poor Harry! I helped him carry
his brother up the hill at
Bull Run + how brave he was
through it all.
