/ nave just returned rom f2ducah, hy.s
where the largest number Of our sick and |
wounded soldiers lie; 1870 wcre there on
Thursday, when the weekly return wzs made
out. About half Of these we're dcccntly pro-
yiced for. The remainder were in various
states Of discomfort, many Of them lying In
the muddy and bloody clothes in which they
had fallen on the battle field . week before.
The reason Is, that the supplies Of the Sanitary
Commission are exhausted Most OF the boxes
sent them contain q great variety Of misc ella
socks, which may be drawn from the Quarter
masters stores, or comforte.s, which may be
dispensed with, and their place supplied by
Quarte1master's blankets. But these boxes
contain only tri1ing quantity Of articles In
dispensahly necessary, namely: Bed sacks and
pillow BACKS. sheets, and pillow covers, cot
ton shirts snd drawers. I am requested by
DR.. Austin, the Medical Director, to call at
tentlon to this matter. One Thousand bed
sacks, one thousand pillow sacks, two thous-
and fheets, two thousand pillow cases, two
thousand shirts, two thousand cotton shirts,
and two thousand drawers arc immediately
wanted. Will the patriotic ladies Of our city and
country Immediately attend to this demand?
Send forward no more varieties until these
Thousand nets Of bed equipments are proVid-
ed. The sheets sent forward are too narro#
to be Of much use. The surgeons wish sheets
OF the same size you would make for your OWL
beds, IS the narrow sheets wrinkle up into
string, greatly to the discomfort Of the poor
feyerish patriot. Let the bed sacks be the first
| thing provided. ROBERT PATTERSON.
