Hey! Today we are doing a RAFT creative writing assignment.

My Dearest Husband Liam,

         Since you've been gone, I've gotten a job as a nurse in a military hospital. I could have worked as a teacher or in a factory but I decided that I wanted to help all the soldiers like you. Every time I go to work I hope that I never see you in the hospital in the condition some of the men are in. After the battle of Antietam we were overwhelmed with the amount of men that were flooding the hospital. We could barely save half of them. Some of them refused medical care and in some cases we just didn't have enough supplies or the right supplies. Most of us were not qualified enough to treat the severity of cases that were coming in. This war is devastating. Please come home safe.

Your caring wife,

Bertha
