His face was ashy white, and he staggered with the weight of horror that was upon him. A friend who accompanied the President told me that he leaned upon him heavily. Then bursting into tears, exclaimed, "My God, how much longer must this slaughter go on? I cannot endure it. I cannot endure it. My heart is breaking." The President was completely overcome, and immediately left the battlefield. Not a word was spoken by either until they parted an hour later, when he said, "I can never be glad aga...in." Washington became one great hospital of wounded soldiers, and these places, so full of human agony, were daily inspected by the Presi- dent. He visited them all. The sanitary conditions were most carefully looked into, and the sick and wounded were greeted, each one separ- ately, with some personal message. He shook hands with those who were well enough, and to those who were desperately ill he smoothed the fevered brow, brushed aside the damp locks or tenderly pressed the limp hand, bidding each one to take courage and try to live.
