{"value"=>"<p>Records maintained by USSC couriers responsible for transporting sick and wounded soldiers and on occasion soldier's families, sailors, and attendants for the sick on hospital cars from Washington, D.C. to points north and west. Entries, in chronological order, provide name, company, regiment, state, residence, disease, the soldier's originating point (usually the Home or depot), whether furloughed or discharged, and remarks. Some entries have only the number transported rather than each individual's name. Statistical summaries of transports are also included. The Harrisburg volumes were maintained by two different couriers.</p>"}
