LINT SOCIETIES. The following announcement resulted in the creation of one of the most unique aid efforts in the CIVIL WAR.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, 1862.
To the Loyal Women and Children of the United States:
The supply of lint in the market is nearly exhausted. The brave men wounded in the defence of their country will soon be in want of it. I appeal to you to come to our aid in supplying us with this necessary article. There is scarcely a woman or child who cannot scrape lint, and there is no way in which their assistance can be more usefully given than in furnishing us the means to dress the wounds of those who fall in defence of their rights and their homes.
Contributions will be received in Boston by Surgeon A. McLaren, U.S.A.; New-York, by Surgeon R. Satterlee, U.S.A.; Newark, Assistant-Surgeon Janeway; Philadelphia, Surgeon Geo. E. Cooper, U.S.A.; Baltimore, Surgeon C.C. Cox, U.S.A.; Washington. Surgeon C.J. Lamb, U.S.A.; Cincinnati, Surgeon Clover Perin, U.S.A.; Louisville, Surgeon J.F. Head, U.S.A.; St. Louis, Assistant-Surgeon C.T. Alexander, U.S.A., or by any other medical officer of the army.
WM. A. HAMMOND, Surg.-Gen. U.S.A. (1)
