2693 - L Apr. 30:2/3, 4 - The soldiers' Aid society report that the
purchasing ard forwarding of supplies during the last two weeks amounted
to over 2,400 bushels, also a carload of fruit, clothing, etc. Wil-
liam R. Richard, Superintendent of the Soldiers' home, reports that 44
men were received last week.
A correspondent asks why the government does not put transportation
of medical supplies into the hands of the sanitary commission, if the
latter is so independent in its movements? The commission answers:
"Nobody pretends that any outside supplementary commission can do the
work of the medical department. The commission merely strives to sup-
plement." - (31)
