From the Richmond Enquirer, 5/31/1862, p. 1, c. 3
BEDS FOR THE SICK AND WOUNDED. – The ladies of the
different churches are requested to meet daily in their respective lecture
rooms, for the purpose of making beds and bedding for the sick and wounded who
arrive from the camps around the city. We feel sure that this praiseworthy
object will commend itself sufficiently to ensure a response from the ladies
that will meet the necessity to the fullest extent. Ever ready, as they have
always been, to contribute their exertions to the comfort of our gallant
soldiers, on the field or in the hospitals, to call upon them for additional
aid, we venture to say, will be greeted with a noble pleasure.
