[Gutenberg 35289] • Hospital Sketches

Excerpt from Hospital Sketches

Grateful though I am to them deeply grate ful yet I know little Of_the personal history of the founder of this great hospital which now shelters me, or of that Diamond Jim Brady who built and endowed this noble wing. Still, I feel sure that in many ways these benefactors to their race made their gifts under much the same conditions as those barons and nobles of Old who, led by some deep feeling, devoted their wealth to the saving, not only of their own souls, but Of the souls and bodies of their fellow men.
