Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Third Report Concerning the Aid and Comfort Given by the Sanitary Commission to Sick Soldiers Passing Through Washington: March 21, 1862
Another class of men who have claimed our sympathy and help has been the returned prisoners from Richmond. These returned prisoners have usually been detained in the city a week or more before all their necessary pay rolls, furloughs, or discharges could be made out. During that time, we have taken care of all among them Who were sick or wounded. Thus, from these we have had 75 or 100 men at a time.
