From the Richmond Enquirer, 7/15/1862, p. 2, c. 7
THE HOSPITALS. – We have received several communications
respecting the condition of the wounded and their treatment at the different
hospitals in and near the city. They bear severely upon the capacity, labors and
habits of some of the surgeons in charge, who are represented as being
considerably more prone to keep themselves easy than attend assiduously to the
welfare of their patients. The communications are too long, and, in some cases,
too bitter to publish, while yet the subjects of them have an opportunity to
improve.
