{"value"=>"<p>The Home for Soldiers’ Wives and Mothers, also referred to as the Home for the Wives, Mothers and Children of Soldiers, operated from December 26, 1863 to October, 1865 at the Home on North Capitol Street. Its purpose was to provide lodging and other assistance to women and children visiting soldiers who were typically ill in area hospitals, and who found themselves in need. The Department’s Home for Nurses, established earlier in the war, had also sheltered such women. Entries, in chronological order, provide the woman's name, residence, business (reason for stay), address of friend (soldier), and date of departure. Nurses and southern refugees are also listed in the register.</p>"}
