J In addition 70 the large Shipment Of
HOSPITAL stores mentioned in our last Sat-
urday's report, l41 packages have since
been sent to join the former lot at Louis
vile, and We expect soon 10 hear of their
distribution among the hospitals of Nash
vile and Memphis. We have just reoeived
interesting reports from DR.. Read and
others, on the state Of hospitals in and
near Nashville. These viii appear in our
next issue.
About thirty boxes of clothing and
ediblss have also been. sent to the Wheel
ing depot, upon an order from our agents
there, who report the hospitals Of Western
Virgins in very good condition, with
some few exceptions, which the stores
lately sent down viii help to remove.
We have received sn urgent call for read
ing matter from Surgeon W. P. Marr, in
charge Of General Hospital at Parkersburg,
Virginia. The hospital contains about l9O
pstieuts, and, with the gift Of a few books
from the library OF each one who reads
this appeal, we could soon supply to these
invalid soldiers the means OF shortening
the long And weary days Of their hospital
life. Periodicals and pamphlets are ac-
csptable, but bound books being much
more durable, are greatly preferred
We append some interesting letters from
Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Brown, the faithful
and untiring agents of the Commission in
the hospitals of Leavenworth and Fort
Scott. Also, letter from the Surgeon Of
General Hospital, at Fort Scott. These
letters will show how pressing arc the
wants Of those hospitals, and we are sure
they will also convince donors that the
stores distributed BY the hands of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown are carefully and judiciOusly
applied for the relief Of the sick soldier.
Our next shipment will be made to Kan
sas, and we hope to send enough to fill in
some degree the demands which are made
upon us from that quarter.
Barley and corn meal, which are men
toned in DR.. WoOdward's letter, are al
ways acceptable in hospital, and those
who can donate such articles are earnest
" requested to do 80.

LEAvESwoRTH, KANSAS.
LEAvEEvoRrH, Jan. 81.
DR. J. s. NEWBRRRT-DEAR SIR Your
most welcome letter, with 500, by express,
came duly to hand for which please ac-
cept my grateful thanks. Il was very
timely, as could not see how could go
farther without it. We have no slsck-up
Of demand on US, as you will see by the
enclosed copy Of letter from DR.. J. B.
Woodward, Surgeon at Fort Scott Hospi-
tai; and added to the sick, we have now
thousands Of stripped refugees from Wis
consin and Arkansas, coming into Kansas
for safety. Most Of these are entirely
destitute, and appeal so strongly for help
that the people of Kansas are drawn upon
to the utmost Of their ability, and we can
not expect much help from them for our
own sick soldiers; but tell you we have
some of the best folks here to help, but
they have more than they can do.
Please accept thanks for 800, received
by mail Nov. Is, 1852.
Nv good wife win be with me until
Spring. She is experimenting the care OF
the very sick at this Hospital and will
draw pay from the Hospital Fuud.
