From the Richmond Whig, 4/10/1865
ALL THE HOSPITALS
of the city have been taken possession of by the military authorities, and are
used for the care and comfort equally of the Federal and Confederate sick and
wounded. A number of Confederate Surgeons left in the city have been paroled to
attend to the Confederate sick and wounded. The Chimborazo, Winder, Jackson and
Howard’s Grove Hospitals – four of the principal Confederate Hospitals –
are used for the accommodation of the Federal wounded. Their accommodations are
for about twenty-four thousand beds, which accommodations were left entire by
the Confederate authorities.
