To His Excellency Crovernor Sprajue : In conformity with your letter of " Instructions " to Dr. Lloyd Morton and myself, bearing the date of December, 1862, (a copy of which is hereto annexed,) requesting us to proceed on a tour of in- spection to various hospitals, to ascertain the condition of sick and dis- abled Rhode Island soldiers, I beg leave to submit the following re- port: On receiving the appointment, I proceeded immediately to Wasli- ino-ton, where I arrived on the evening of the 17th of December. During my stay there of twenty days, I visited eighteen hospitals, some of them twice. Three of these were in Georgetown and one in Alexandria. I also made one visit to the camp of Battery H, one to the lltli Rhode Island Regiment at Miner's Hill, and two to the " Convalescent " and " Stragglers'" Camps. On the 6th of January, I went to Baltimore, where I visited six hospitals in and around the city. On the 11th of January, I left for York, Pennsylvania, where, there being but one hospital, I was in time to go to Harrisbui-g the same day. Finding Rhode Island soldiers at neither Camp Curtin nor three hospitals which I visited, I reached Philadelphia on the night of January 12th. Here I visited nineteen hospitals, including " West Philadelpliia," " Germantown," " Chestnut Hill," " Summit House" and " Chester." On the 19th of January, I proceeded to Newark, New Jersey, where I visited the guard-room and hospital, and reached New York the following day. I here visited eight hospitals — five in the city and the others at "David's Island," "Fort Schuyler" and " Bedloe's Island." Returned to Providence on the 24th of January, having visited, in five weeks and four days, sixt3-one hospitals and five 6 PUBLIC DOCUMENT. camps. The number of lihode Island men wliicli I found in these hospitals, amounts to four hundred and eighty including fifty-two at Convalescent and Stragglers' Camps. Of this number, are fifty-eight belonging to the artillery and forty-nine to the cavalry. There were also sixty from the 2d Regiment, five from the 3d, seventy from the 4th, eighty-eight from the 7th, and seventy-eight from the 12th. For further information reference is made to the accompanying table in which their names may be "found alphabetically arranged, stating which hospital they are in, the regiment and company of each, with an account of their wound or the disease they are suft'ering from ; also, the names of others who have deserted or been discharged. Many of these men were transferred the first week in January, from Washington to Portsmouth Grove Hospital, and it is probable, that out of the whole of this number, nearly one hundred will never be fit for duty. Our soldiers are suffering from the ills incident to convalescing from typhoid fever. Diarrhoea and rheumatism are very prevalent. There are several cases of heart disease,and three of consumption. Many of the cavalry and artillery men are in hospital from injuries caused by horses. I know of but one case of small pox among them, although they are much exposed to it. I saw one in a hospital in Washington, in the next bed to one of our soldiers whom I was speaking with ; and in Baltimore two cases in a ward with the other patients. General debility describes the condition of a great pro- portion of our soldiers. Some are reduced by disease, and many only by exposure and fatigue. They are discouraged and disheartened by lingering so long in hospitals or the prospect of it. Hope and en- couragement were imparted to them, on hearing that this mission was expresslv to ascertain where each soldier was, what was his condition and wants, and that an effort was to be made to get them so near their homes as the hospital at Portsmouth Grove in this State. Their countenances expressed at once the gratification the removal would give them. One man in Baltimore said with trembling lips, "I am so glad to know that some body is thinking of us." They are gener- ally satisfied with their treatment, seldom making any complaints. The hospitals, v\'ith very few exceptions, are very clean, well venti- lated and comfortably Avarmed. The best proof of the good attend- ance and humane treatment of the patients, is the favorable reports of the soldiers themselves, unrestrained by the presence of any of the officials. In several cases they expressed sincere gratitude towards the surgeon for his untiring care, to Avhich they felt they were indebted DISABLED RHODE ISLAND SOLDIERS. 7 for their lives. " We have good doctors ;" and " I was surprised to find -vve had such good treatment," were the remarks often made to me. If convalescents could be allowed nourishing food longer, and not be put on "army rations" so soon, I think it would be better for the Government as well as for the men, — for. they would sooner be fit for duty. But as this is not allowed unless it is furnished through some outside influence, it does not reflect on the hospital authorities. Whatever objections may be made to the removal of the soldiers to " Portsmouth Grove Hospital," I leave to those who better under- stand the policy of the plan ; feeling alone would decide in its favor. Many a poor fellow is dwelling in the anticipation of being wdiere a mother or other dear relative can reach him. Soldiers fi'om other States, who were attracted to us, and who joined in the conversation on the subject, said, they wished their States would make the same effort as Rhode Island had made. The maimed soldier being de- prived of having the artificial limbs, which are supplied by Gov- ernment to those who are discharged from the Hospitals in Washing- ton, is an argument against it, but those who are in other places now, have not that privilege to forfeit. I had the concurrence of a num- ber of surgeons in the opinion that the plan was a good one, and they were hopeful that it might be allowed ; while others, less sanguine and more sensitive, looked upon the improbability of its being brought about, and felt that it implied a doubt of the good attendance there, but gave it their sanction, when convinced by the proposition that it was preferable perhaps, to suffer more and be within the reach of the sympathy which we most crave. I was informed that the Convalescent Camp was to be broken up, and I sincerely hope it may be, as the condition of the place is de- plorable. When I last visited this camp, it was somewhat improved, as it had been removed in a direction where the men could get w^ood and water without having to go two or three miles for it, as before. It is very hard for men in their condition, to sleep on the ground, with a single blanket, and to suffer from neglect and exposure, as they appeared to. Those who are ready to go to their regiments, are detained oftentimes until they are so reduced they have to be sent back to the hospital. Common sense tells us that such treatment is not calculated to replenish the ranks of the army. I could not per- ceive much distinction between this and the Stragglers' Camp. Of course this place serves for a resort for men who had rather be any where than facing the enemv ; and therefore, here it is that shirks and « PUBLIC DOCUMENT. cawards " most do congregate," and the morale of the place is very disgusting to brave and honest soldiers, who are forced to mingle in- discriminately Avitli them. " Chestnut Hill Hospital" is a model in- stitution for Convalescents. The spirit of humanity which dictated this mission has drawn forth sympathy and kindness from all who become acquainted with it, as well as the surgeons and others in the Hospitals. Several times the surgeons proved their interest by acting at once in some cases which I brought to their notice. I would express my thanks to the '' Rhode Island Relief Association" in Washington, for their cordial co-operation. I would say to the friends of the soldiers, that the wants of their sick and wounded are thoroughly attended to by the members; they have had a good supply from home, thus far, of clothing and delicacies, which are dispensed with truly heart-felt sympathy to all the Rhode Island soldiers in hospital in and around Washington. Committees are sent to all of them, who, not only at- tend to their physTcal wants, but write letters for them, exert themselves to find their " descriptive lists," get their discharge, etc., when neces- sary, and supply as far as possible the place of their own personal friends. Airs. Arnold, the wife of our Senator, the Hon. Samuel G. Arnold, is adorning her station there with the same womanly trials of devotion and sympathy for our suffering soldiers which actuated her here^ and with which she so nobly filled the position of President of the " Volunteer Relief Association." Other ladies connected with the members of the Association in Washington, assist with heart and hand in this work of love and patriotism. I am also indebted to the members of the New England Relief Association, in Philadelphia, who pay the same attention to our sol- diers as to those of the other New England States, although they have never received any donations from here. In one case where cham- pagne was prescribed for one of our men, whose life the surgeon told me " hung by a hair," this Association supplied one quart per day as long as it was necessary. I trust their kindness will be acknowledged by some contributions from this State. For further particulars I beg leave to refer your Excellency to the more extended report of Dr. Morton, whose instructions contain ad- ditional items to those in the instructions to myself, and which re- quired him to visit all the camps of the Rhode Island regiments and batteries attached to the Army of the Potomac.
