To my patriotic and benevolent fell
low citizens of Belmont, Carroll, Har-
rison, Jefferson and Tuscarawas coun.
ties, of which our Regiment is compo,
sed: Permit me to make brief state
ment of the condition of our Regiment,
with an appeal to you for the aid you
can and l am sure, will cheerfully give.
We have on the sick list daily av-
erage of one hundred and sixty-five
cases, made up of Catarrhal, Typhoid
Fever, Measles, Mumps, Small Pox
and Sporadic cases.
We have to accommodate this large
number in our regimental- tents, one
small brick church and a new frame
house that I seized and appropriated
as Hospitals. And all the Govern.
ment has supplied me with as bedding
is twenty blankets, yet by confscation
and donations received, have cared for
sixty-fve cases-several others are in
private houses.
Many Of the delicacies and neccssi.
ties for the sick have been freely fur.
nished by the whole-souled, soldier-lov
ing, loyal and angelic ladies of this
place, for which they have my warmest
thanks.
What wemost need is bedding, sucl
as ticks for straw, pillow slips, blank
cts, sheets, comforts, old worn out
shirts and sheets, and articles of simi
lar kinds are very much needed; and
any of the delicacies for sick will be
highly appreciated.
All articles donated this Regiment
shall be properly applied according t(
orders of some Of some of the medica
corps-having charge of the sick.
Ifdonations are properly directed al
per directions, they will be sent through
free.
