Letter, 1862 July 14.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122458669

George Coggeshall writes at Washington D.C. to a friend Harry. "Washington presents a more military aspect than even New York. Ambulances full of wounded soldiers meet you at every turn. The ways are choked up with trains of army wagons, drawn by fierce, undergovernable mules and driven by lazy negros. Great droves of steers are continually to be met with and rendered driving or riding a matter of some difficulty. Nearly all the churches have been taken for hospitals; the streets are crowded with soldiers, negros, and troops of sunburnt husbandman with reaping hooks and staves."
