From the Richmond Examiner, 5/7/1864
BANDAGES FOR THE WOUNDED. – To-day will witness, doubtless, the arrival in
Richmond of many hundreds of our suffering wounded from the battlefields, and it
is the privilege, as well as the duty, of the citizens and others to provide as
many alleviating appliances as possible. Surgeon J. B. Read, in charge of
General Hospital No. 4, Tenth street, between Clay and Leigh, requests that the
ladies send to the hospital, early this morning, as many clean linen rags, for
bandages, as they can provide. Attention to this appeal is earnestly enjoined
upon all who have the linen to spare. The stock on hand in the hospitals is
quite limited no, and as No. 4 hospital is central, the bandages can be
distributed to the others if a surplus is found.
