The Gen. Dabnsy Herndon Maury
Memorial.

This home was presented to the Mary
Washington Hospital Association by the
Gen. Dabney H. Maury Chapter OF the
United Daughters OF the Coniederacy, Of
Philadelphia, which was formed by Mrs.
Sue Maury Hslsey. a daughter OF the
General. She being In delicate health
had TO resign the presidency. and her
successor was Mrs. Blythe. who wished
the work begun By Mrs. llalsey should
be finished.
On last July a correspondence was
opened by her with the executive
committee OF the hospital, asking what
was the best memorial they could get
for five hundred dollars. the sum they
had In hand. Not being sufficient to en-
dow a cot for Confederate soldiers 90
they wished, the committee agreed If
they would furnish room in the hos
pital and build two rooms for nurses,
we, the hospital committee, would take
care OF needy sick Confederate soldiers
for six weeks every year, or in other
words we would allow them that
amount OF interest on the money they
had given to the association to be de.
voted TO the care of sick soldier in the
hospital. This home Is now completed,
and will be open on the nineteenth OF
January for all friends Of the hospital to
visit and inspect. We need furniture Tor
these two rooms Any contributions
will be gratefully received.
