GENERAL HosPITAL,

Mas. B. RoUsE, President Soldiers Aid
Society, Cleveland, Ohio-Dear Madam |
find that the requisition made upon your
Society was not near enough for the HOsPi-
tai in the above place.
Since the date of the above there have
been large number Of sick sent from
Bardstown and Camp Wickliffe, Larue ceun-
ty the former Is miles east Of this, and
the latter IL miles south. This will be an
important point, and have no doubt but
that thsre will be from SOC to ], 900 cases be-
fore two months.
lO0 com fOEtables, 200 pair socks,
200 sheets 100 small states,
$50 pillow slips, rs pair mitteDs,
% bed gowns, % hair brushes,
100 Gotten shirts, rs tooth brushes,
100 flannel shirts, 100 spittoons,
$50 cotton flannel drawers,
40 towels, lot Of soap,
rs hAndkerchiefs, pins and needles,
SO pair slippers, thread.
Yon may, if you will, put in such other
articles as you think will be used TO advan-
tsge. / can assure you that everything
sent to this Hospital will be used to advan-
tage. The Surgeon appointed to take charge
is one of the best of men. He was one of the
first to Iesist secession in Nelson Co. At
present, the sick are ina church and vacant
houses, but none of them comfortable, 90
far capitalization; no bed-steads nor bed
ding nor change OF clothing. They have
straw 10 put on the floor and their blankets
for covering, and knapsacks for pillows
/, have but just finished inspecting the
twelve Regiments in Gen. Nelson's division,
the 4lst Reg. Of our city, Cleveland, being
one of tham, and assure you, we can we'll
feel proud Of it, for there is no better
Regiment in Kentucky. At present they
are having measles, and, are going through
an acelimation, that the grsater portion of
our tr5ops from the North have. to pass
through, When left, the sick were doing
we'll, under the care and attention of Sur
geonB Cleveland and Hart. Col. Hazen is
noWSn commanded Brigade, composed Of
the 41st, This own Reg 9th Kentucky. u
Col. Whitaker, 47th Indiana, Col. slackg
46th Indiana, Col. Fitch-the latter of Fitch
and Bright notoriety in the Senate, three or
four years since. Col. Hazen is already
highly spoken Of in this division, and will
no doubt sustain himself in command of
brigade. They had some 900 sick the Ilth
inst. This.is 3 small number, when ne con-
slider the fact that most of the soldiers have
had no experience in camp life. It has beep.I
quite warm hare for two weeks, likeBpring 4
,Yeather, rsFAss daily, and the roads off the
pikesI are almost impossible. 7 leave for
Bardstown, Lebanon, COlumbiR and Somer-
set tomorrow. Please direct the Hospital
supplies to Dr.. J. W. Gore, General HOspi-
tai, New Haven, KY.
Your Friend,
