"The sick and wounded, meanwhile, filled hospitals...in Virginia. Longstreet frequently visited the local hospitals, spoke to each man, and, on one recorded occasion, helped dress one of the patients. The men appreciated his visits and acts of kindness." Post Knoxville, December, 1863.

(Letter in Blackford papers in Wert's General James Longstreet)
