From the Richmond Examiner, 6/23/1864
NEEDS AN EXPLANATION. – We are informed that a number of
ladies who have devoted themselves to the relief of the soldier from the
inception of the war, attempted to reach the interiour of the Stuart hospital on
Tuesday with food and delicacies, but were refused admittance by the guard or
porter in attendance, and turned away with their very acceptable burden. Who
commands at Fort Stuart, that ladies cannot be admitted whenever they are the
bearers of such welcome stores to our wounded soldiers, as we know the above
ladies to have been? An explanation is needed.
