Hospital Stores Wanted

PHILADELPHIA, May 21. – The Bulletin contains the following appeal received by telegraph to-day dated, Fortress Monroe, May 21:

I call upon the farmers of the North for supplies of butter and eggs.  Send them here to the care of Doctors Hunt and McCoy, of the Chesapeake and Miland Hospitals.  Sponges, oil silk, rags, bandages, lint and dried fruit are also greatly needed.  In the name of your suffering soldiers I make this appeal.

(Signed)

JOHN HARRIS, Sec’y.

This appeal will doubtless be promptly responded to by the farmers of the north.
