"We are informed that the connection at Weldon (where the soldiers are transferred from the Virginia railroad) is so close, that little opportunity is given for bestowing upon the soldiers the attention they so much need. We think, however, from what we have heard, that something in the arrangements might be considerably improved with a slight expenditure of additional attention.
"We know the people along the line--at least we think we do, and we believe they are as much devoted to the cause, and as willing to do all that can be done for the suffering soldiers as any people in the Confederacy. If there be any want unsupplied, any omission made, it is only necessary that it should be pointed out to them."
These soldiers would be among the many casualties from U.S. Grant's Overland Campaign in Virginia.
