{"value"=>"<p>Statements list issues to U.S. hospitals, military units, and convalescent camps; to USSC staff, homes, and field agencies; and for individual relief. Most recipients are in Washington, D.C. or its vicinity, including Alexandria, Virginia and Annapolis, Maryland. Statements from September 1862 through December 1863 are for the Local Storehouse only. Subsequent statements are for multiple unidentified D.C. storehouses. Statements show large issues to the field during the Overland Campaign in the spring and early summer of 1864. Arrangement of information varies over time. Statements were prepared on a monthly basis, usually broken down into 10 day periods within (1-10, 11-20, 21 to end of month, or tri-monthly). Tabulation methods for subtotals and grand totals of quantities vary. In statements from September 1862 through August 1863, entries are in chronological order by date. The same recipient appears multiple times. Statements from November 1863 through March 1863 attempt to consolidate issues to each recipient into one entry across columns, showing multiple dates and stock type quantities in single cells. Entries are in a rough chronological order by date of the recipient's first transaction. Statements for May 1864 and undated (possibly June 1864) provide no issuing dates within the month, each statement consisting of sets of sheets which are sometimes numbered. There is one entry for each recipient (listed in no particular order) with gross totals. For the undated statement, recipients are listed in alphabetical order, concluding with Individual Relief and the Army of the Potomac. The statement for July 1864 reverts to the chronological pattern seen in earlier statements.</p>"}
