This latter article is very much needed

Tea, liicc-llour, Sago, Mustard, ground

Money forwarded to this office in fur

the establishment of this institution will
be thankfully received and properly
used.
I shall go to Petersburg on Thurs

among

As great diversity of opinion seems to
exist in the minds of many of our lad y
friends relative to the hospital at this
place, 1 write a short note in order to re
move any uncertainty with regard to it.
YVc have four district hospitals. The
first -or general one is the old Nelson houe,
to wirieii all tlM? v.-orst cases are sent.
This is under the management of Dr.
llines, the Surgeon of the post. The next
are the negimeniai iiospnai, belonging 10

tis-
J would -suggest that persons sending
delicacies and ''thcr things for these differ-
cut hospitals, should always be particular
to ench.se in Rich packages the names of
the kind givers, ud th-e article presented.
When they are intended fur the general
hospital, let them be marked to Dr. llines;
when for any one of the different regiments,
let them be addressed distinctly to the re-
eijnent. Wc however think, as a general
tllnn.; ;t AVould be the b-et to direct all
j rnci.:;lf.-cs to Dr. llines, marking distinctly
' on them the different regiments for which
; they arc intended, when such is the. case.
The Dr. informs me that he is in want
j 0f experienced professional muses, who
1 arc willing to enter the Jiospital and abiuc
entirely by his instructions.
