{"value"=>"<p>Letters are primarily to Lewis, also to Platt, Cope, Wilson, and Stillé, and are mostly from other USSC offices and locations, especially Washington (Alfred J. Bloor, Frederick L. Olmsted, J. Foster Jenkins, John S. Blatchford, Frederick N. Knapp) and New York (Benjamin Collins). Letters primarily relate to supplies needed and received at Washington and elsewhere; they also concern applications for nursing positions; USSC finances, procedures and organization; supplies purchased (particularly condensed milk) or sent to Philadelphia from other USSC branches, the organization of the Women’s Pennsylvania Branch, and operations following the battle at Gettysburg. There are also occasional requests for supplies or assistance from hospitals, soldiers’ families, and individuals.</p> <p>Items are numbered consecutively across six disbound letterbooks. For inventory, see USSC Archive Department register, volume 18, USSC New York, N.Y. record group ( (MssCol 22263).</p>"}
