The Battle of Seven Pines
Fair Oaks
May 31, 1862 - June 1, 1862

The Battle of Seven Pines, also known as Fair Oaks, took place May 31 - June 1, 1862, in
Henrico County, Virginia. In all, 84,000 men were engaged. On May 31st, CSA Commander
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston attempted to overwhelm two Federal corps that appeared
isolated south of the Chickahominy River. The Confederate assaults succeeded in driving
back the IV Corps and inflicting heavy casualties. Union reinforcements arrived and both
sides fed more and more troops into the battle. Supported by the III Corps and Sedgwick's
division of Sumner's II Corps, who crossed the rain-swollen river on Grapevine Bridge,
the Federal forces were stabilized. On June 1, the Confederates renewed their assaults
against the Federals. Last-minute reinforcements saved the Union from a serious defeat,
however, both sides claimed victory. One of the bloodiest battles of the war, in two days,
there were 13, 736 casualties spread over the battlefield of Seven Pines; 5,739 Union and
7,997 Confederate. Perhaps the most significant result of the battle, Commander Joseph
Johnston, at which time, commanded of the Army of Northern Virginia, was seriously
wounded. A day later, the job fell to Gen. Robert E. Lee.

This is where he ended up at the time of his death. No records

Instructions On Bringing A Patient To The Hospital
____________

No patient can be received without a legal certificate from the Probate Judge. Let the patient whom you bring, distinctly know where he (or she) is going. A patient seldom forgets being deceived in that particular; and its affects many injuriously, when they hold it as a grievance afterwards. The Probate Judge, if he sees proper, can deputize any relative to accompany a lady patient, if possible. In some cases, the presence and control of a stranger - an officer of the law - acts injuriously. Furnish the patient with a sufficiency of comfortable clothing. With many, to wear good clothing of their own, tends to their self-respect and satisfaction - and to receive articles of clothing, as well as other remembrances from home, is a matter of pleasure. Lists of clothing needed will be sent from time to time during the year to the family. All persons are supposed by law, to be able to pay for their board and attention at the Hospital. The Probate Judge of the County where the patient
resides determines whether the are not able to pay an issues certificates accordingly. The regular charges are SIXTY DOLLARS A QUARTER (Sixty is crossed through and 75 is written above it) in advance, which covers board and all Hospital expenses. The patients are not allowed to have articles of value, such as jewelry, money, watches, ect., on the wards, nor articles of danger, such as knives,
matches, scissors, ect. They ought not bring such things with them. The answers to interrogatories on an accompanying sheet, relating to family and personal history, are very important. They ought to be made
fully and honestly, giving as much information as possible. They are of great value to the physicians in making a correct opinion of the patient.
The Bryce Hospital is three miles from the depots in Tuscaloosa. The street cars meet all day trains automobiles and hacks meet them day and
night. Contract with the driver before entering his conveyance. The Mt. Vernon Hospital is one-fourth of a mile from the depot. The trip, if possible, ought to be arranged so as to reach the Hospital DURING THE DAY. There is an extra charge for a vehicle at night, which often
causes annoyance and imposition; besides, the patient generally comes more willingly and in better shape during the day and necessary routine of receiving and assigning him is more conveniently and satisfactorily done.
