tue uhllei Ntates sanitary CommlSsn
for distribution among the soldiers of ON
army, have been sold ~ the employee, |
the Commission, in a very uuscupun,
manner. lthas been rs ertamol, by Gam
FIJI examination, that this has never IA
CURED, hut that the runors to this eE.,
have arisen from the sale of bo1es At d. i
presa rooms and slorehou. .es when tb.
have not been called f f and removed N
'nose 10 whom thess were sent, Hawq
been conslgr ed to no responsible agen0
out o'r .cted to individuals, regiments, &s
d I'D in many cases those regiments havig
changed their location so that no tn
could be found of the property, these ba
es have been sold, with their contents,
the highest bidder, to pay the expenses %
cruing upon them. And thus have bss
offered for sale by the persons into whaI
hands they have fallen, But nothing
this kind is chargesble to the Sanity
! Commission, as any who will examine d
matter can easily assure themselves
An incident, has, however, recently %
Cured, that may be made to confirm then
prejudices against the Sanitary Comus
sion, or raise new representations of i
operations, unless the facts are wide
spread.
W. inptte ali who may read the lollU

setting the matter right with their trien

exceeding great injury to the cause upq
which the interests of every one Of d
brothers in the army rest.
