| Charleston Wayside Hospital and Soldier's
Depot |
| Every train will bring large
numbers of soldiers -- hungry, fatigued, and many perhaps sick and
fainting -- refreshments are essential immediately upon their arrival.
Our City Council has appointed the undersigned a Committee to attend to
this matter. The new building erected as a depot for the South Carolina
Railroad Company, has been kindly given up for the reception of the
soldiers, and ample accommodations prepared for the sick and disabled. |
| We want cooks, waiters, nurses, fuel,
hospital stores, &c, &c. Our citizens, we are assured, will immediately
come to our aid. All communications should be addressed to Prof. F. S.
Holms, Superintendent, at his residence, corner of Calhoun and St.
Philip streets, or at the depot of the South Carolina Railroad. |
