From the Richmond Dispatch, 4/28/1862
Free Negro Nurses Wanted. – One hundred male free negroes are wanted
immediately, as nurses, at the Winder Hospital, near the reservoir. Applications
can be made by the persons referred to at the Provost Marshal’s office, corner
of Broad and 9th streets. If the parties go willingly, good wages
will be paid and kind treatment afforded them. If they do not volunteer they
will be impressed, and run the risk of receiving such treatment and pay as is
generally awarded under such circumstances. The above nurses are wanted to-day,
and we would advise an immediate application on the part of the free negroes to
Capt. Samuel Macubbin, Chief of Police, at the Provost Marshal’s office, where
they can learn what is desired of them.
