From the Richmond Dispatch, 5/17/1864
Attention to the Wounded. - While the detailed men are absent on the
defences other assistance has become indispensable to the wounded. Such ladies
as are experienced nurses are requested to visit or send their servants to
Howard's Grove, (Mechanicsville turnpike,) Winder and Jackson, (near Hollywood
Cemetery,) and Receiving (17th st.) Hospitals. Those who cannot render this aid
are requested to contribute such delicacies as are usually furnished for the
sick. - We are desired to make this request by a prominent officer of the
Medical Department, and the humane may rest assured that their efforts in behalf
of our wounded are really needed.
