{"value"=>"<p>Letters are primarily from aid societies regarding supplies needed, offered, and sent, garments made, and sewing patterns needed. Letters are also from USSC personnel (especially Frederick Law Olmsted, Alfred J. Bloor, Elisha Harris, J. Foster Jenkins, and Henry W. Bellows) mostly concerning supplies needed. Some letters are from other Commission branches or departments in the field. Numbered documents include some Hospital Directory correspondence. Also present are reports of various WCAR committees, aid societies, and canvassing agents. Numbered documents were organized by the USSC's Archive Department and are indexed in an Archive Department register (USSC New York, N.Y. record group, MssCol 22263, volume 14). Several items, mostly found within groups, are unnumbered. Items 489, 503, 731, 736, 1542, 1966, 2375, 2458, 2477, 2491, and 2855 are not present. Items 3228-3269 (receipts, vouchers, invoices) are not present and were presumably destroyed by the USSC.</p> <p>Many items bear penciled markings from prior conservation treatment.</p>"}
