Caption: The Waiting Room
Additional Description: During Jackson's illness, staff officers used this room to relax, write letters, and chat. Doctors attending to Jackson consulted here. "All that human skill could devise was done to stay the hand of death," one affirmed, but it was not enough. By May 10, Jackson's physicians gave up all hope of his recovery.
Summoning his wife, they informed her that the general had but a few short hours to live.
