Vol. I. Part 2 by William T. Sherman]@TWC D-Link book Vol. I. Part 2 8/87 Mrs.Sherman supposed him to have been with me, whereas I supposed he was with her. An officer of the Thirteenth went up to General McPherson's house for him, and soon returned, with Captain Clift leading him, carrying in his hands a small double-barreled shot gun; and I joked him about carrying away captured property. As we all stood on the guards to look at our old camps at Young's Point, I remarked that Willie was not well, and he admitted that he was sick. His mother put him to bed, and consulted Dr.Roler, of the Fifty-fifth Illinois, who found symptoms of typhoid fever. |
