ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27,
1862.
Application having been made to the Western Sanitary
Commission, by “Secessionist Ladies” for permission to contribute articles
exclusively for the sick and wounded
prisoners now in the hospitals here, they take this opportunity to inform
them that, by order of Gen. Halleck, no discrimination can be made in the
treatment of patients – friend and foe being treated alike.
Liberal hearted loyal people have generously contributed
goods and money for the comfort of the unfortunate men in our hospitals. These donations are used indiscriminately for
all the inmates of the hospitals who
need them.
The commission will gladly receive any donations contributed
for the sick and wounded, but they cannot discriminate in favor of any.
By order of the Western Sanitary Commission.
LYMAN B. RIFLEY,
Secretary.
