Wounded Soldiers
Sept. 3, 1861—In a letter from
a correspondent in Davisville, the
writer says that the ladies from
Hartsville, Davisville and Rich-
borough are “preparing a lot of
shirts, drawers, handkerchiefs,
wrappers and slippers for the use
of the wounded and sick in the
hospitals in Washington.”
They ? also “getting up a
large bowl of dried beef, preserves,
jellies, and other delicacies that
can be relished by those occupy-
ing the soldier’s pallet.”
An Thursday meetings were
held at Johnsville and this place
for the organization of a company
to join the regiment forming un-
der Col. W. W. H. Davis, and
measures were taken indicative of
the speedy accomplishment of
this purpose.”
