Stumbled across this and figured I would post a link here. Be forewarned, the file is a PDF.

I've just read the introduction, but that does give a little more insight into the Grants and I only found out recently that Julia had done some work in the hospitals. It seems she and her husband were both too affected by it to lend much assistance except by providing a welcoming place for Mrs Wittenmyer to stay.

There are a few threads on Annie. It's a great book, if anyone is looking for something to do until the heat is gone.You don't know how some of these women did it and stayed so positive in their work. Julia Wheellock's is the darkest one, poor dear thing. All the death and tragedy seems to have finally gotten to her.

Thanks for sharing this awesome article. There are just certain people that can handle the gift of doing that type of work. The medical staff the doctors, nurses, and others who administer aid to the wounded men the blood, the torn up body by artillery shells ...and the gun shot wounds that broke the bones leading to an
amputation. Must have been an overwhelming shock! That would get to you over time.

The above link is for Annie's book she wrote concerning the management of the Diet Kitchens and several recipes.
