From the Richmond Examiner, Tuesday, 7/22/1862, p. 2
THE HOSPITALS. - We made a visit yesterday to several of
the hospitals on Main street, and were particularly struck with the well ordered
condition of the Crew Factory Hospital, on Cary street, near Twentieth. The
numerous empty cots, while they attest to the skill of the physician in charge,
show that the wounded who may fall disabled hereafter may be sure of a haven of
repose and the usual attention. The surgeons in charge of the several wards are
Dr. H. C. Scott, Dr. G. B. Moore and W. T. Bell and others, with hospital
steward Price. What is true of the Crew Hospital can be said of most of the
hospitals in the city. They are at least half emptied of their inmates, and
places are ready for the more deserving.
