Title
A Proper Hospital at Newport
Description
Wolcott expresses oncern about the continued lack of a hospital near Newport for seamen arriving with contagious disorders. Newport deserves a hospital, as the military will most likely expand there. Buildings may be erected on public lands and would accommodate both seamen and soldiers. He asks Dexter to approve the necessary measures for erecting the buildings as soon as possible.
