The soldiers' Aid Society of Virginia.
--The Soldiers' Aid Society of
Virginia was formed about the middle of the month of June by a portion of the ladies of
Richmond, for the purpose of affording to the benevolent people of the
Confederate States a medium through which they might aid the sick and wounded soldiers of our army.
The society has received very liberal contributions in money from all of the
Confederate States, and large contributions in hospital supplies from most of them.
It has aided all the hospitals in the
Northwest, the hospitals at
Gordonsville,
Orange, and Culpeper Court-Houses, and other small hospitals between
Culpeper and the
Potomac, and the hospital at
Charlottesville, and has sent very large supplies to
Yorktown and other hospitals on the peninsula.
In many instances the society has sent a highly respectable minister of the Gospel, of this city, to examine personally into the condition of the hospitals and the wants of the sick.
The society has aided weekly five private hospitals, and less frequently three other private hospitals, in this city.
| The receipts of the society in money from the date of its formation have been | $5,490.81 |
| Its expenditures | 3,676.67 |
| Balance on hand | 1,814.14 |
The society solicits further contributions in money and hospital supplies from the people of the
Confederate States, especially the ladies, to enable it to carry on, and to extend if possible, the good work in which it is engaged.
