To Richard Sterling, Esq., Cor. Sec. S.A.S.:

Sir: I acknowledge, in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers of this department, three boxes of hospital supplies which have been placed in my trust by Mr. R. M. Sloan and Dr. D. P. Weir.

It is hardly necessary that I should say how acceptable they are, and how timely they have arrived. In the name of the recipients of this bounty of the ladies of Greensborough, I thank them for this evidence of their patriotism and devotion to our cause. Very respectfully, your obed’t servant.

JAS. J. WARING, Med. Director.
