a call upon the Ladies.
General Hospital,Charlottesville, Sept. 2, 1861.
The Surgeon in charge of the General Hospital at Charlottesville respectfully solicits from the women of Virginia and the South generally, further contributions of lint for dressing the wounds of the soldiers who were disabled at the battle of Manassas.
The supply on hand is nearly exhausted, and the daily demand is so great as to exceed the resources of the town and its vicinity.
He takes this occasion to make a general acknowledgment of the receipt of numerous boxes of valuable contributions from various portions of the Confederacy.
The number is so large (over one hundred) as to preclude specification of their contents, the only way by which most of them could be identified; but he may state that in every instance in which invoice letters have been received the corresponding contributions have come to hand, except in a few cases to recent to be yet regarded as exceptions in the rule.
