{"value"=>"<p>Letters received are from five disbound letterbooks. Most are to Corresponding Secretary Clara J. Moore, with some to Grier and others. After Moore’s resignation, letters are addressed mainly to members of the Committee of Correspondence, formed in December 1864. Letters are from aid societies and associate managers regarding organizing, fundraising, and supplies; also from other USSC offices and branches, especially Alfred J. Bloor in the Washington Office, Louisa Lee Schuyler at Women's Central Association of Relief in New York, Abby May of the New England Women's Auxiliary Association, and branches in the Western Department regarding supplies needed, organizing strategies, and activities. Numerous letters from Anna M. Holstein describe her speaking tours, organizing, USSC news, and her activities in Annapolis and City Point. A few letters concern the Woman's Council in Washington (January 1864) and the Great Central Fair in Philadelphia (June 1864).</p>"}
