The Daily Dispatch: November 27, 1861., [Electronic resource], Chimborezo Hospital again. (search)
; Capt. H. A Claiborne is the commissary, and Capts. Whitfield, Warren, and Selden are the quartermasters. We have urgently petitioned for a military commandant, and would be very much obliged to you if you will get us a man who will undertake and attend to this department. Lastly, The statement that the men have but two meals a day is partially true. The sick men are fed under the direction of the attending surgeons, but the convalesceats who go to the table are served with breakfast from 8 to 10, and with dinner from 2 to 4 o'clock. They have every variety of food, including fish, molasses, and all the vegetables that can be purchased from the numer ous sympathisers with the sick soldiers, and very often at war prices. Not less than $1,200 a month is spent, besides the regular soldier's rations; and if you will be good enough to get the public to be a little more moderate in their profits, I hope yet to improve their diet considerably. Your obedient servant, J. B. McCAW.
