Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report From the Secretary of the Treasury, Relative to the Location of Marine Hospitals; In Obedience to a Resolution of the Senate of the 15th June, 1836
It is addressed to you for the purpose of eliciting any information within your own knowledge or which may be accessible to you from other sources, in reference to the expediency of such establishments on the water-courses or lakes within your State or district, which it may be in your power to communicate; and particularly in reference to the points or places where, by reason of the congregation of seamen in great numbers, salubrity of position, or other local advantage, it may be most expedient and necessary to establish such institutions.
It is desirable that any information which you may be able to give on the subject of the resolution should be transmitted to the Department on or before the first day of November next; and that as many detailed facts bearing on the inquiry as can be obtained with accuracy should be imbodied into your reply.
I am, respectfully, sir, Your obedient servant, levi woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury.
