864) she went
to Natchez, Miss., and engaged as teacher of the Freedmen, under the
direction of the Western Sanitary Commission. Not satisfied with
teaching the colored children, she instructed also the colored soldiers
in the fort, and visited the people in their homes and the hospitals for
sick and wounded colored soldiers. She remained in Natchez until May,
1865. In the following autumn she accepted an appointment from the New
England Freedman's Aid Society as teacher of the Freedmen in South
Carolina, on Edisto Island, where she remained until July, 1866; she
then returned to Boston, where she is still engaged in teaching
freedmen.

But time and space would both fail us were we to attempt to put on
record the tithe of names which memory recalls of those whose labors and
sacrifices of health and life for the cause of the nation, have been not
less heroic or noble than those of the soldiers whom they have sought to
serve. In the book of God's remembrance their names and their deeds of
love and mercy are all inscribed, and in the great day of reckoning,
when that record shall be proclaimed in the sight and hearing of an
assembled universe, it will be their joyful privilege to hear from the
lips of the Supreme Judge, the welcome words, "Inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto me."
