This hospital is believed to be sufficient for the wants of the Eastern Shore. In the improved condition of Freedmen on that shore, the demands for assistance are so much lessened that it is not deemed, with the present amount of sickness, an absolute necessity to keep more than one medical officer on duty on the Shore. The Hospital at Eastville provided with a competent Steward allows the medical officer in charge to make two weekly visits to Drummondtown and in this manner all pressing cares are provided for.
