{"value"=>"<p>A set of USSC operational journals document activities from 1864 May 10-1865 Jun 24. Entries typically cover the daily work and observations of USSC staff, including details about shipments and transportation of supplies, staffing changes, military activities and war rumors, and the weather. Starting June 6, 1864, two versions of the journals are found: the bound \"quarto journal\" (originally several paginated volumes, later rebound together as \"Journals in the field\"), and a separate, edited copy on loose sheets (see Journal at White House and City Point below). While the bound volumes are generally more comprehensive, the loose sheets contain communications not found in the volumes, and were apparently created for reporting purposes. The titles, \"journals in the field\" and \"journal at White House and City Point,\" are retained from the USSC’s 19th century arrangements; the June 6, 1864 entry in both versions bears the title, \"Journal. U.S. Sanitary Commission work with the Army of the Potomac.\" Journals kept by individual USSC staff members and journals of USSC inspections are also present.</p>"}
