Individual Relief Department.

     The UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN COMMISSION seeks to afford a sure and effective medium of communication between the wounded or sick soldier--whether in the Camp or in Field or General Hospitals--and his home friends. This is done by furnishing facilities for writing and by writing for those who are not themselves able. Soldiers, for whom special inquiries are made of us, will be sought out if possible and relieved, and their condition made known to those asking. All letters of this character should give the Corps, Division, Regiment, and Company of the soldier, as also the Hospital in which he is supposed to be.
