Excerpt from Report to the Western Sanitary Commission: On the General Military Hospitals of St. Louis, Mo Thus far, this is a general introduction to the Military Hospitals of St. Louis, a more detailed account follows. It will be seen that St. Louis need not fear comparison with any other city in hospital enterprises, and may be proud of the gigantic work done, under such trying and unfavorable circumstances. Thanks to the great liberality of the whole nation, the Western Sanitary Commission has been enabled to render efficient aid to the sick and wounded soldiers, though frequently thwarted in their philanthropic labors. The enlightened views of major-generals Fremont and Halleck, Com manding this Department, whose countenance and encouragement never failed them, are gratefully acknowledged, as, without them, the efforts of the Western Sanitary Commission would have been limited in their results. In the detailed report of the St. Louis Military Hospitals, I will endeavor to give the capacity, in cubic feet, of each room occupied by patients, the number of beds, and consequently the quantity of atmospheric air allowed to each patient. There will be found nearly as great a variety as there are rooms for there are but few of equal dimensions, and containing the same number of beds.
