Colonel

I have the honor to call your attention to the great destitution among the women & children in our Hospitals, especially at Point of Rocks.

The Surgeons in chge are clamorous to have the women clothed & really there is much suffering

I have written to benevolent societies in my own city for contributions 

In the mean time shall I purchase small amount of Goods for clothing

Awaiting instructions I am Colonel

Very Respy
