REPORT 
 
 Office of the Indiana Sanitary Commission. 
 
 Indianapoh's, January 2nd, 1865. 
 0. P. Morton, Governor of Indiana, 
 
 Sir: — The Sanitary Commission present to your Excellency their 
 report, the object of which is, as far as has been found practicable, 
 to exhibit, by means of detailed statements, -what we have received 
 from the people of Indiana, and the mode inwhich the fruits of their 
 jrenerous devotion, to the comfort and health of our soldiers, have 
 been distributed. The Commission began its career shortly after the 
 bloody battle of Fort Donaldson, and consequently had been in exist- 
 ence two years and nine months, up to the 1st of December, 1864. 
 
 We submit a statement of receipts and disbursements in money, 
 from which the following results arc condensed : 
 
 Cash contributions which came to our hands on the or- 
 ganization of the Commission, in February 1862, in 
 which are included moneys received from unknown 
 
 sources §13,490 92 
 
 Cash contributions in 1862...! 9,038 20 
 
 Cash contributions in 1863 , 36,232 11 
 
 Cash contributions up to December 1st, 1864 97,035 22 
 
 From which it appears, that the total cash contributions have been 
 one hundred and fifty-five thousand, seven hundred and ninety-six 
 dollars and forty-five cents. 
 
 Expenditures in 1862 , ..: 7,310 04 
 
 Expenditures in 1863 40,341 87 
 
 Expenditures to December 1st, 1864 101,144 54 
 
From which it appears that the total cash expenditures, have been 
 one hundred and forty-eight thousand seven hundred and ninety-six 
 dollars and forty-five cents; leaving in the Treasurer's hands, on^^the 
 1st December, 1864, the balance of §7,000 in money. 
 
 We submit also detailed statements of the various articles of prop- 
 erty, received and distributed from the 3d of March, 1864. Upon 
 these, careful estimates of value have been made, enabling us to con- 
 dense the following results : 
 
 Value of contributions in goods from 3d iMarch, to 31st 
 
 December, 1862...-. $86,088 00 
 
 Same in 1863 101,430 74 
 
 Same in 1864 126,086 91 
 
 Thus the total contributions in goods have reached the aggregate 
 value of three hundred and thirteen thousand six hundred and five 
 dollars and sixty-six cents; and the cash and goods together the sum 
 of $469,402 11. 
 
 We have felt it due to the people of the State to present as full 
 and perfect an acknowledgement of their munificent liberality as it 
 was in our power to make ; and this not merely as an act of justice, 
 but also as a means of encouraging the disposition to contribute in 
 the future. We regret that we have not been, in every instance, able 
 to give the proper credit to the person, or place, entitled to it ; as 
 both in goods and money, contributions, considerable in amount, have 
 reached us without any mark to indicate from whom or whence they 
 came. We have made every effort to ascertain the sources of this 
 anonymous generosity, but, in many instances without success. 
 
 The figures given above afford the clearest evidence of the readi- 
 ness of the people of Indiana to devote their substance to this noble 
 cause. Your calls, setting forth the necessities of our sick and 
 wounded soldiers, pointing out the duty, and appealing to the liberal- 
 ity of the public, have always met the most cordial responses. Our 
 agents have been everywhere received by the people Avith open hands 
 and purses, and all and more has been given than we had ventured 
 to ask. The confidence reposed in an organization purely voluntary, 
 recognized by no law and hedged in by no system of checks or means 
 of enforcing respoasibility, other than the honor and good faith of 
 its agents, is, when the sums given and distributed are considered, a 
 thing truly wonderful. We most deeply feel the responsibility of this 
 great charity, and have been stimulated to the utmost care and fidel- 
 ity in its application. 
 
THE INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION, 
 
 as before observed, had its organization in February, 1862, as a vol- 
 untary association proposihg to collect the free will offerings of our 
 people, and distribute them to our soldiers. From small beginnings 
 it has grown to its present proportions. In the earlier stages of its 
 history, it encountered many difficulties, and no small amount of oppo- 
 sition from persons unacquainted with its true character. These dif- 
 ficulties have been overcome, and this thoughtless and uncharitable 
 opposition has gradually yielded as the success of our enterprise has 
 become apparent. Our people are willing to give to us, so long as 
 hey are assured their goods and money will be faithfully dispensed. 
 So far, we cannot doubt that our labors are crowned with their 
 approbation. 
 
 This Commission has special claims upon the men and women of 
 Indiana. Its object and mission are to care for, console, and comfort 
 the gallant men who have gone away from the peace and plenty of 
 their homes to endure the hardships of the march, the strife of battle 
 and the tedium of the hospital. Everywhere, on the march, in the 
 field, and in the hospital, we follow and supply them. No other 
 organization seeks to do so much ; and hence the greater the duty 
 and interest of our citizens in upholding their own Commission, Nor 
 can we, nor the generous public whom we represent, be considered 
 selfish. It is to be remembered that while we look after our own 
 sick and wounded men in the hospitals, we distribute to all alike in 
 the hospitals. We pass by no sick and wounded man, whether he 
 comes from Indiana or from any other State. 
 
 The prominent feature of difference between this Society and other 
 Sanitary Commissions is, that we distribute our stores to companies 
 and regiments in the field. While recognizing the importance of 
 caring for soldiers in hospital, we think it more important, if possible, 
 to prevent disease, and keep our men out of the hospital. Our efforts 
 to accomplish this object have brought upon us the opposition of some 
 other Societies, and subjected us to imputations of selfishness and 
 partiality, and other unfriendly influences. 
 
 We see, however, no reasons for changing our ground. On th^ 
 contrary, three years of experience vindicate the wisdom of this plan. 
 A large number of letters on our files, received from Indiana regi- 
 ments, show that our exertions are fully appreciated by our brave 
 men ; and while we hare their sanction, and the confidence of their 
 
6 
 
 friends .at home, we shall earnestly adhere to our separate State 
 organization. 
 
 At the close of the long and exhausting campaign under Gen. 
 Sherman, which resulted in the capture of Atlanta, this Commission, 
 by its agents, C. M. Jones and A. W. Mendenhall, distributed in a 
 few days nearly one thousand barrels of onions, potatoes and fruits, 
 to the worn out soldiers, as well those from our own as from other 
 States. This timely aid served greatly to encourage and recuperate 
 our brave men. When the regiments were informed that each would 
 receive ten or twenty barrels of supplies, by sending to our ware- 
 rooms in Atlanta, there were instances of our brave fellows shedding 
 tears of joy and gratitude, at this proof of the love and thoughtfulness 
 of their friends at home. 
 
 Within one week, during the late investment of Nashville, Col. Shaw 
 distributed several hundreds of barrels of vegetables and fruits to our 
 regiments in that city, preparing* them for the marches and battles 
 which so gloriously culminated in the defeat of the rebel army under 
 Hood. 
 
 These arc but illustrations of the methods we have pursued, as we 
 have steadily advanced in our efforts to do our duty towards our 
 soldiers, with the means that have been placed at our disposal 
 During the past season large supplies of Sanitary stores have been 
 accumulated at the principal points for winter distribution. Chatta- 
 nooga, Nashville, and Louisville have each been well provided, and 
 the benefits of this foresight are apparent in the general health of 
 our troops. 
 
 Before dismissing this topic, we ask to record the favorable opinion 
 of our separate mode of action, expressed by Hon. John Brough, 
 Governor of Ohio, in his recent message to the Legislature of that 
 State. The Governor says : 
 
 "While I desire to be fairly understood as not impeaching, or 
 desiring to impair the value of either of the associations laboring for 
 the relief of our soldiers, I still adhere to the opinion expressed to 
 you last winter, that more real good can be accomplished, at less 
 expense, through the State agencies, and our aid societies, than in 
 any other vray. While extending our own operations, I have care- 
 fully watched those of our sister State of Indiana, and I have found 
 that her system merits the strongest commendation. It is simple in 
 its character. Its central society at the Capital, under the immediate 
 care of the Governor, receive all the contributions from the various 
 aid societies in the State. 
 
" These are classified and distributed to the several State Agents, 
 according to the wants of their respective departments, who in turn 
 distribute them among the men. The State provides a fund that aids 
 in the purch^e of articles not contributed, and pays the transporta- 
 tion. There is no expensive machinery about it — no waste and no 
 extravagance. It has been objected to as being local and selfish in 
 its character; but this is not the fact. While the first care of the 
 agents is for the Indiana men, no Ohio soldier in want or distress, 
 has ever, to my knowledge, appealed to an Indiana agency without 
 having his wants relieved. The Indiana agents have frequently divi- 
 ded their stores with the agents of Ohio, and we have always tried to 
 reciprocate the kindness. 
 
 " There are many benefits attending this system, which should not 
 be disregarded. 
 
 "1. It is decidedly the most economical way of aggregating and 
 distributing the contributions of our people, and expending the means 
 appropriated by the State for this purpose. 
 
 " 2- It renders certain the distribution of all supplies to the 
 objects and purposes for which they are intended. There is hardly a 
 possibility for misappropriation. There is no machinery about it to 
 be kept lubricated, and no class of middle-men to levy toll upon it. 
 
 " 3. By proper care and management it is made more prompt and 
 energetic than any other model ; and, by being more systematic, will 
 be more general and appropriate in its relief. 
 
 " 4. It fosters and gratifies the State pride of our soldiers. It 
 comes nearer to the feeling of home. An Ohio soldier regards an 
 Ohio Agency as a place he has a right to enter, and expect a wel- 
 come. If he is in want there is no system of orders or requisitions 
 to go through — no prying and unpleasant catechism for him to sub. 
 mit to. The supplies furnished by his State and his peoplp are there 
 and he feels that he is no object of charity when he partakes of them. 
 His remembrances of home are freshened — his attachment to his 
 State is quickened and increased — and he goes away feeling that he 
 is not neglected or forgotten — that the cause of the country is still 
 worth upholding, and the dear old State still worth defending from 
 the encroachments of the rebel adversary. And this is doubly the 
 case when the agent passes almost daily through his hospital — bends 
 over the bed on Avhich he is stretched with sickness 91 wounds — 
 inquires kindly into his wants, and ministers unto them from the 
 benefactions of his people, and the liberality of his State. Surely 
 this spirit is worth cherishing and preserving." 
 
To no other individual, however, is the Commission under such 
 profound obligations for help and encouragement, as to the Governor 
 of Indiana. In the midst of the accumulation of cares and labors 
 which the rebellion has thrown upon his shoulders, he has always 
 found time to interest himself in v/hatevcr concerns the welfare of a 
 soldier of the Union ; and he has, with uniform patience and wisdom ^ 
 given his time and thoughts to the success of the Commission. His 
 eloquent appeals have opened the hearts and pockets of our people ; 
 his influence has removed obstacles out of our way, and broken the 
 force of opposition ; his steady and cordial co-operation has lessened 
 our labors and divided our responsibilities ; while his prompt and 
 wise expedients have materially contributed to perfect our plans and 
 secure our success. We are, indeed, simply a voluntary association ; 
 but as we are concerned in promoting objects of the highest public 
 interest, and have grown into an institution that dispenses annually 
 more than twenty years ago sufficed to pay the ordinary expenses of the 
 State, we have found it in every respect useful and expedient that the 
 Governor should regard our Commission as one of the agencies of the 
 State government.

 SPECIAL SANITARY AGENTS. 
 
 In conducting the business of the Commission it became necessary 
 to call to our aid the services of many gentlemen as distributing 
 agents in camps, hospitals and battle-fields. Among those who have 
 labored long and faithfully, without fee or reward, especial promi- 
 nence must be given to Mr. George Merritt, of this city. Since the 
 autumn of 1862 Mr. Merritt has been at all times ready to serve his 
 country by giong to the relief of her sick and wounded soldiers. Pitts- 
 burg Landing, Memphis, Helena, Milliken's Bend, Nashville, Chatta- 
 nooga, Kingston, Resaca, Marietta, have each been visited by him as 
 our distributing agent. He spent nearly two months with General 
 Sherman's army, on its tedious campaign last season, constantly look- 
 ing after our troops, anticipating and providing for their wants, at a 
 great pecuniary sacrifice to himself. We owe more than can be 
 expressed to the activity, fidelity, and excellent judgment of this 
 generous and devoted man. 
 
 Mr. James H. Turner has also served us most faithfully in the same 
 capacity. Commencing his duties at Pittsburg Landing, he remained 
 many weeks caring for our sick men, until disea,se compelled him to 
 relinquish his charge and return home. 
 
9 
 
 Mr. Wm. John Wallace has taken a very active part as a distributor of 
 stores to our soldiers. In February last, when our six months troops 
 were returning from Cumberland Gap, Mr. Wallace left his business 
 and gave up his time to relieve and bring home the suiferers, in that 
 unfortunate winter campaign. During the past summer, he joined 
 Mr. Merritt, on the trip to Atlanta, and continued with him to 
 Marietta, faithfully at work, until our supplies were exhausted, when ' 
 he returned for the purpose of raising additional stores. His patri- 
 otic aid deserves our grateful recognition. 
 
 Dr. C. J. Woods, of Wayne county, has zealously labored for us, 
 visiting all parts of the Army, relieving our sick and wounded, and, 
 when it has been practicable, bringing them home. Ilis trip, in 
 December, 1863, was one of great difficulty and hazard ; it was welj 
 perfoiyned and resulted in great good. As bis assistant. Captain 
 Robert Wishard, of Johnson county, rendered useful service, in going 
 to and returning from New Orleans, on the " City Belle," in Decem- 
 ber and January, a year ago. 
 
 Many others could be named who have done nobly and served the 
 Commission efficiently, in the distribution of its stores. 
 
 Most of our distributions, however, have been made through the 
 regular State Military Agents, at the several points where their 
 agencies are established. Through these gentleman, the Commission 
 has always been able to make safe, careful and economical distribu- 
 tions. At Louisville, Colonel Jason Ham ; at Nashville, Colonel 
 Edward Shaw ; at Chattanooga, Mr. Vincent Carter ; at Memphis, 
 Dr. G. 0. Jobes ; at St. Louis, Dr. J. E. McGaughey ; at Washing- 
 ton, D. C, Wm. H. DeMotte, Esq. ; at City Point, Mr. George A. 
 Huron ; at New Orleans, Dr. George W. New ; at Evansville, Colonel 
 P. Hornbrook, form a list of agents whose intelligence and capacity 
 afford ample guaranties for the faithful dischax-ge of such trusts as 
 may be reposed in them. Appended to this are the reports and let- 
 ters from several of our distributing agents, which will give the pub- 
 lic some facts, in relation to the manner of distribution, that cannot 
 fail to interest. 
 
 COLLECTING AGENTSr 
 
 To make the public acquainted with the objects and success of our 
 Commission, to stimulate their liberality and thus, by steady and, if 
 possible, unceasing streams, to replenish our supplies of goods and 
 money, we soon found the benefit of employing regular collecting 
 
10 
 
 agents. In March, 1863, we employed, in this work, Captain Alonzo 
 Atkinson, formerly of the Sixteenth Indiana Volunteers, who con- 
 tinues in it to 'the present time. His services have been of great 
 value. His earnest appeals have found the hearing ear and the open 
 hand. Thousands of dollars, in monej^ and goods, have been poured 
 into our treasury, through his agency. His record is brightened, not 
 merely by success, but by the earnest sympathy and incessant effort 
 through which he has reached the public heart. 
 
 Chaplain J. Hogarth Lozier, of the Thirty-seventh Indiana Vol- 
 unteers, was detailed for the same purpose. No man has performed, 
 or could perform the functions of a collecting agent with more trium- 
 phant results than he has done. Ever ready, with song or sermon, 
 with wit or logic, sarcasm or sympathy, he bears his hearers irresis- 
 tibly along, and finds them as ready to give as he is to receive the 
 means to sustain the Commission. His great energies are heartily 
 given up to the cause ; his success has been astonishing, and, thrqligh 
 his exertions, tens of thousands of dollars have come into our hands. 
 
 Hon. M. F. Shuey, of Elkhart county, was for some months occu- 
 pied in collecting our supplies. When in his power to give the mat- 
 ter his attention, he displayed great activity, frequently going from 
 house to house, to urge the claims of Indiana soldiers. His success 
 was considerable, and his zeal deserves this grateful acknowledge- 
 ment. 
 
 Rev. Benjamin Winans, of Lafayette, served us for ten months as 
 a collector, and such was his activity that, during that period, he paid 
 into our treasury about ten thousand dollars. We bear witness to the 
 energy and fidelity of this christian gentleman, now no more, A 
 few days after he had withdrawn from the agency, in November last, 
 he was killed by an accident on the Lafayette Railroad. A good 
 man has passed from earth to his eternal rest. 
 
 SPECIAL SURGEONS. 
 
 During the course of the war it has frequently been necessary, 
 after a severe engagement, to call for the aid of Special Surgeons t© 
 wait upon the wounded. These calls have been uniformly met, and 
 the requir- d service, in most instances, faithfully rendered. We have 
 sought for the best talent in the medical profession, and have always 
 found competent and experienced Surgeons wilhng 'to leave their 
 profitable business at home, to spend weeks and sometimes months in 
 giving attention, often gratuitously, to the sick and wounded. Maiiy 
 
11 
 
 lives have., been preserved through their efforts. They have given 
 their profession a new claim to our respect, and deserve the gratitude 
 of the people of Indiana, 
 
 FEMALE NURSES. 
 
 In accordance "U'ith your suggestion, when intelligence reached us 
 of the battle of Stone River, twenty-five ladies, under the charge of 
 Mr. George Merritt, -were sent to Nashville and other points, to serve 
 as nurses. Many of these ladies continue to labor in camps and 
 hospitals. Soon others followed, and for sometime past there have 
 been an average of about fifty female nurses, under the supervision of 
 the Commission, constantly in the field. 
 
 All have done well ; but there are some of these devoted women 
 who deserve especial notice ; and it is with heartfelt pleasure and 
 gratitude that we record the names of Mrs. E. E. George,' Miss C. A. 
 Buckel, Miss Jeannette Ilovey, Mrs. Ransom, Mrs. Brake, Miss 
 Fussell, Miss Hardy, Miss Ross, Miss Miller, Miss Staufer, Miss Ve- 
 nard, Miss Stires, Miss Cahill, Miss Winder, Miss Howe, Miss Mc- 
 Cord, and Mrs. Rumsey, with many others vfho have rendered most 
 valuable service. 
 
 During the past season Mrs. E. E. George has been with Gen. 
 Sherman, chiefly with the 15th Army Corps Hospital. She accompa- 
 nied the troops to Atlanta and Jonesboro, always on duty, a mother, 
 to all, and universally beloved, as an earnest, useful Christian lady. 
 
 Miss C. Annette Buckel, for the year just closed, has been occupied 
 as superintendent of female nurses. Through her efforts we have 
 been highly successful in bringing ladies to serve as nurses in the 
 hospitals of Louisville and Jeffersonville ; some thirty-five ladies have 
 thus been placed in situations where their tender care has assuaged 
 the sufferings and ministered to the wants of our soldiers. It is im- 
 possible to over estimate the usefulness of a cultivated christian wo- 
 man, with the address, experience and administrative qualities that 
 fit her for such a supervision, who is willing to devote her life to the 
 work. Such a one is Miss Buckle. Our praise is a public tribute to 
 the value of her labors, both to the soldiers and to the Commission. 
 
 Two most esteemed and worthy ladies. Miss Hannah Powell and 
 Miss Arsinoe Martin, of Goshen, Indiana, employed in our service 
 in the hospital at Memphis, yielded their lives in the cause of 
 humanity and patriotism, last year. Highly valued in the family and 
 in society, they were not less loved and appreciated in their patient 
 
12 
 
 and unobtrusive usefulness among the brave men, for whose service, 
 in sickness and wounds, they had sacrificed so much. Lives so occu- 
 pied, acord the highest assurance of peaceful and happy death ; and 
 they died triumphing in the faith of their Redeemer, exulting and 
 "•rateful that they had devoted themselves to their suifering country- 
 men. Their memories, precious to every generous soul, will be long 
 cherished by many a brave man ; and their example of self-denial 
 and patriotic love and kindness, will be echoed in the lives of others 
 who shall tread the same path. 
 
 SOLDIERS' HOME. 
 
 This institution originated in a very obvious necessity. Sick and 
 wounded soldiers were brought daily to the city, and frequently 
 obliged to remain here for a shorter or longer period. The delay in 
 waiting over, from one train to another, or for transportation, or for 
 examaii.ation for discharge, or from some other cause, threw these 
 unfortunate men temporarily upon our hands. There was no place 
 provided for them, except at the camps, near two miles distant from 
 the depot; and to these there was no suitable conveyance. For a 
 time we made arrangements with the proprietor of one of the hotels 
 near the LTnion depot, to lodge and feed them. 
 
 The numbers increased rapidly, so that tents were prepared south 
 of the depot for their accommodation ; and by such expedients for 
 several months, from tv/enty to fifty sick and wounded soldiers were 
 daily sheltered and fed. 
 
 But this means designed only for a temporary thing, proved wholly 
 insufficient. In the Autumn of 1862, at the suggestion of the Gov- 
 ernor, the Soldiers' Home was projected and built, having room for 
 the comfortable lodging and feeding of one hundred and fifty men. 
 
 This at first was thought ample. The growing necessity led to its 
 enlargement, and now it will accommodate one thousand guests. Its 
 dining room will seat a thousand persons. The Commission has bore 
 its share in fitting up this large establishment, and continue to supply 
 it with clothing and all articles that come within its sphere. The 
 Soldiers' Home at Indianapolis, is the largest of its kind in the west. 
 vSiuce its origin over a hundred thousand soldiars have been fed there 
 
 LADIES' HOME. 
 
 This inetitution originated in a like necessity, and at the suggestion 
 of ihe Governor. Large numbera of females were constantly coming 
 
13 
 
 to or passing through this place, in search of kindred or friend.^ in 
 the army ; many with very little money, and many with none at all. 
 Much suffering was certain to fall upon these persons, unless some 
 organized effort was m^ade to prevent it ; and their relation to our 
 soldiers made their claims to shelter and food too sacred to be disre- 
 garded. Tne State, represented by General Stone, Q. M. General, 
 and this Commission, shared equally the expense, and the Ladies' 
 Home was started December 1st, 1863. 
 
 The reports show that, for the thirteen months it has been open, 
 lodging and meals have beon furnished to more than fourteen hundred 
 persons, women and children. 
 
 The Home is, and has been for months, under the charge of Lieut. 
 Greenawalt and his excellent lady, who do thcyr best to make it what 
 its name indicates, a home to the weary heart-stricken wife, mother or 
 sister, in search of their loved ones. 
 
 REFUGEES. 
 
 During the past year Southern Refugees, mostly women and 
 children, have heen coming to this point in large numbers. Their 
 condition generally is one of extreme destitution They come with- 
 out money and with little clothing. Efforts were made to form an 
 organization among our citizens for their relief, but they wholly 
 failed. 
 
 Humanity demanded that something should be done ; and there 
 seemed to be no agency at hand but the Commission to do anything, 
 we therefore distributed to these sufferers small sums of money, and 
 occasionally provisions, and we sent them, when they desired it, to 
 places where they found employment and wages. 
 
 These were acts of mercy not strictly within the scope of our 
 charity ; but seeing these persons' lying about the depot destitute, 
 often sick and sometimes dying, we knew that the people, who with 
 such enlarged and noble generosity have made us their treasurers, 
 would justify us in moderate measures of relief. 
 
 We learn, since the preparation of this report was begun, that a 
 very active and useful Society is now formed for the relief of this class, 
 in which Rev. Mr, Ingraham, Gen. John Love, Oliver Tousey, Esq. 
 and others, gentlemen and ladies of this city, are heartily co-oper- 
 ating. They have, with the assistance of Gen. A. Stone, secured a 
 building, and are busily collecting money and supplies, and will doubt- 
 less be the means of contributing much to the comfort of these unfor- 
 
14 
 
 tunate people. The building secured by tbe Society, has been placed 
 under the supervision of Miss Mary Venard, of Terre Haute, Ind., 
 a lady who for some fifteen months has served the Commission at 
 Natchez, Miss. Under her careful management it is doing well. 
 
 HOSPITAL BOATS. 
 
 In the year 18G2, five hospital steamers were dispatched by the 
 Governor for the relief of our troops. They were furnished with 
 sanitary stores, and with all the conveniences required for the trans- 
 portation of sick and wounded soldiers. They visited the battle-fields 
 of Pittsburg Landing, Island No. 10, Memphis and Helena, and 
 returned freighted with hundreds of our wounded. 
 
 In like manner, in tite year 1863, seven steamers were sent out on 
 Bimilar errands, abundantly supplied and furnished, carrying physicLans 
 and nurses. These boats were sent to Memphis, Helena, Vicksburg, 
 Natchez, New Orleans, and to all other points on the Mississippi 
 river where Ave had troops, distributing to all who were in need, and 
 bringing home hundreds of sick and v."ounded. It can not be doubted 
 that your foresight and promptitude, in resorting to this mode of 
 relief, have saved the lives of many gallant oflicers and soldiers ; and 
 it has always been our pleasure to co-operate with you in making it 
 as effectual as possible. 
 
 ASYLUMS. 
 
 There are instances of suffering having the strongest claim, not 
 merely to the charity of the public, but to that sense of justice always 
 so strong in a brave people. These, although not within the limits 
 of our trust, are, from the nature of our duties, brought incessantly 
 . before our eyes. There are many of our soldiers disabled by wounds, 
 or through diseases contracted in the service, who are wholly in some 
 cases, in others partially, incapable of providing for their wants, 
 They are many of them indigent. The pension given them by the 
 General Government is inadequate to their support. What are thej 
 to do ? They must beg or go to the country poor houses. Anothei 
 class are the orphans of soldiers whose lives have been given to the 
 country — whose mothers arc dead — who have neither property oi 
 friends. 
 
 There are many children in this unhappy condition. We are surt 
 there could be no claim upon the public conscience stronger than thai 
 of these unfortunates. We are too just, too enlightened, too rich, t^ 
 
15 
 
 excuse ourselves from the duty of providing for the broken soklier, 
 and the soldier's orphan child, such asylum as befit their condition, 
 and will secure the support of the one and the education of the other. 
 
 STATE SANITARY FAIR. 
 
 In the autumn of 1864 a Sanitary Fair was held at this city, in 
 connection with the State Agricultural Fair. Some weeks before the 
 time of having the Fair, Major Erie Locke, of Indianapolis, was 
 appointed its Superintendent, when he entered vigorously and at once 
 into the business. 
 
 To accommodate the Sanitary Fair, a building was erected within 
 the Agricultural Fair enclosure 350 feet long and 70 feet wide, hav- 
 ing an ell 100 feet long, 70 feet wide^^and 16 feet high. Major. 
 Locke organized a complete system of Committees to draw contribu- 
 tions from the various departments. Contributions came in well. 
 The Masonic fraternity sent in $2,000 in cash. The county most 
 distant from the Capital, Vanderburg, bore away the prize banner, 
 ofi'ered to any county except Marion, that should make the largest 
 contribution. 
 
 The exhibition was a success, the total receipts being something 
 over forty thousand dollars. Handsome as was the sum realized, it 
 would have been much larger had not the public been occupied with 
 the pending elections, and also in raising money to fill the quotas on 
 the draft ordered about that time. 
 
 The citizens of Indianapolis alone gave nearly $100,000 to supply 
 the draft, at the time the demand was' made upon them to contribute 
 ^o the Sanitary Fund. 
 
 This great draw upon the people throughout the State greatly 
 lessened our receipts, and it is only a matter of surprise that so much 
 was gathered at such a juncture. 
 
 CONCLUSION. 
 
 The Indiana Sanitary Commission is still in full vigor, prosperous 
 and successful. The need of its continued activity is as great as at 
 any former period. We have still many soldiers in the field and i:<i 
 the hospitals, and the sad exigencies of war contrive to yield their 
 harvests of wounds, disease and death. 
 
 The claims of the men who in the flower of life give up their busi- 
 ness, and postpone for our good the natural effort to secure a compe- 
 tence before the evil days come and the night of decrepitude darkens 
 
16 
 
 about them, in which no man can work ; Avho leave the sweet security 
 of home, and the pleasant sociel^ of wife and children ; who suffer 
 manifold privations, in heat and hunger, cold and thirst, through mud 
 and dust, amid the death storm of battle, enduring the slow torture of 
 wounds and illness, or the more lingering and horrible pains of a 
 southern prison ; who, when they return to us, come back, many of 
 them, noble ruins of their former manhood, torn by shot and shell, 
 or broken by disease — the claims of these men, Ave repeat, come as 
 heretofore, with solemn cogency, not to our sympathies alone, but to 
 our consciences. For every where they have carried our country's 
 flag the symbol of victory and herald of peace, while the blood they 
 shed and the sacrifices they make are the pledges of Union restored 
 and treason overwhelmed and punished. 
 
 The people of Indiana read in this report a record not of what we, 
 but they have done. We point to the Commission as work of their 
 hands, assured that the increasing demands steadily made upon it 
 will be abundantly supplied by the same generous hearts to which it 
 owes its origin and growth. 
 
 Ail of which is respectfully submitted.

SANITARY REPORT FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE- 
 COL. ED. SHAW, AGENT. 
 
 Office Indiana Sanitary Agency, 1 
 Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 1, 1864. j 
 
 Wm. Hannaman, President Indiana Sanitary Commission: 
 
 Dear Sir : — I bave tlic honor of transmitting tlirougli you to the 
 Governor and the people of the State, the inclosed Report of the 
 amount and variety of Sanitary Stores received and distributed at 
 this point between the let of March, 1864, and the 1st of December, 
 1864. 
 
 I also send you, herewith, complete lists, showing the names or 
 number of hospitals supplied; also of regiments, batteries, and 
 scpadrons of Cavalry. In addition to the above, I have distributed 
 ■A liberal share of supplies to lady nurses, chaplains, agents of the 
 Christian Commission, and individual soldier of which a full report 
 is inclosed herewith. It would have been a pleasure to mo to have 
 furnished a detailed report, from my books, of every soldier and other 
 person supplied by this Agency during the last year, but such a re- 
 port would be too voluminous for any practical use. 
 
 In order, however, to convey to you a fair idea of the extent of 
 our demands and efforts in this direction, as well as to assure the 
 people of the importance of increased contributions of the kinds 
 of articles which seem to be in most demand, I transmit, herewith, a 
 detailed report for the last month, (November.) showing the name 
 and position of every soldier or other person supplied at this 
 office, together with the names of articles furnished to each. In the 
 distribution of stores from this office, our first care has been to 
 alleviate the sufferings of the sick and wounded, in the General and 
 Regimental Hospitals; secondly, io prevent sickness, so far as we were 
 able, by a timely distribution of vegetables and other needed articles 
 among the soldiers of our own Regiments. My greatest regret is 
 
 R. I. S. C— 7 
 
94 , 
 
 that my supply of stores has never been equal to the demand, and 
 that many worthy and needy persons have had to go unsupplied. 
 The only remedy for this is with our people at home. It will be seen 
 that two thousand five hundred and ninety-five barrels, and three 
 hundred and thirty-two boxes of supplies have passed through my 
 hands during the period embraced in this Report. 
 
 Of the proper distribution made of all these supplies, I trust you 
 will find satisfactory evidence, in the subjoined documents. I ought 
 not to conclude this Report without speaking in special terms of 
 commendation of General J. L. Donaldson, Chief Quarter-master, 
 Department of the Cumberland, to whose kind offices the gratitude of 
 the people of our State is specially due, for many favors in afford- 
 ing transportation for our supplies, and facilitating the same. Cap- 
 tain J. Little, Depot Commissary of subsistence, also merits the 
 esteem and gratitude of our people for similar favors. 
 
 No person, except one situated as your agents are, can fully com- 
 prehend and appreciate such favors as these gentleman have afforded. 
 
 I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 
 
 ED. SHAW, 
 ' Indiana Miliianj Agent.

 SANITARY REPORT FROM LOUISVILLE, KY., COL. JA- 
 SON HAM, AGENT. 
 
 Indiana Military Agency, ) 
 Louisville, Ky. December '2d, 1863. / 
 
 William Hannajiam, Esq., 
 
 President of Sanitary CommissioJi : 
 
 Sir : — I have the honor to submit my Report for the month of 
 November 1863. 
 
 The business of the Louisville Agency has been very much of the 
 usual character. I have had the usual number of applications for 
 passes by citizens on their "way South to visit the sick and wounded 
 soldiers in the army of the Cumberland. This branch of my duty is 
 one of vital importance to the traveling public. Was it not for this 
 Agency, hundreds of citizens would be detained here, (and many of 
 them would be compelled to stay here for days) at heavy expense, 
 and many of them would be compelled to return home without accom- 
 plishing the object of their mission. And in all human probability 
 many lives lost for want of the assistance that their friends would 
 bestow upon them (by a tender mother or sympathiising relative.) 
 
 I am very often called on by citizens of other States, who have 
 friends in the army of the Cumberland for assistance in getting passes, 
 which I am often able to get for them. One thing that has added 
 very much to the influence of this office, is on account of remaining 
 so long in the same location, the location is widely known. Other 
 agents have changed their location several times. The people all 
 know where to find the Indiana Agent, day or night. Scarcely a 
 night passes that I am not called up, during the night to do some- 
 thing for some citizen in distress. 
 
 I have distributed all of the sanitary goods consigned to me except 
 some of the apples, which I am still engaged at the distribution. I 
 have visited and distributed sanitary goods to nearly all of the hos- 
 pitals in this City, New Albany and Jeffersonville, during the last 
 three weeks, (myself or my son). We always found the sick boys 
 glad to see us, and thankful for what we had for them. This is a. 
 
98 , 
 
 pleasant part of my duty, it gladens my heart to be able to bestoTT 
 upon the afBicted boys some of the comforts of home and former days. 
 
 I have been almost daily engaged in conveying the sick and woun- 
 ded soldiers from place to place. This is one of the greatest bless- 
 ings, to those are not able to sit up, we put a mattrass in our ambu- 
 lance and let them lay down, otherwise they could not be moved. 
 Gov. Morton deserves great credit for sending this ambulance to us, 
 it still shows hoAV far he is ahead of other Governors. Nothing of 
 the kind has been furnished the other agents of the States represen- 
 ted in this city. 
 
 In regard to the distribution of religious reading, it is continued 
 as heretofore reported, by my wife. She is kept supplied by the 
 benevolent from Indiana and other places, and she continues to visit 
 the hospitals and distribute Bibles &c., to the inmates, which are 
 usually received with thankful hearts. 
 
 I am glad to inform you that only three Indiana soldiers have died 
 here during the month of November, to-wit : James A. Smith, Co. 
 G, 28th Reg., James Farley, Co. A, 89th Reg. and Joab Tenison, Co. 
 D, 88th, Ind., and all consigned to Cane Hill Ccmetry, near this City. 
 
 I have forwarded to you from time to time, complete lists of all 
 Indiana soldiers that have arrived here, transferred, discharged, fur- 
 loughed, Sec, taken from the Medical Directors' books during the 
 month of November, 1863. 
 
 The hospitals here have been croAvded most of the time during last 
 month. At this time they are not so much crowded. The order now 
 ill force making transfers of all suitable cases to the nearest hospi- 
 tals to their homes, is working very nicely and gives entire satisfac- 
 tion to the soldiers, as well as their friends. I am able now to get 
 the boys off without much difficulty, and it gladens the hearts of the 
 poor fellows to get once more on their native soil. 
 
 There has been a great m'any changes in the officers at the Hospi- 
 tals and in many cases for the better. I think the treatment of the 
 boys is more humane than it was in times past, with a few exceptions, 
 and I have those cases under investigation. 
 
 At no time since I have been here, has this hospital been in a mori.' 
 •satisfactory condition in regard to cleanliness, as well as the general 
 management. The health of the patients is improving. 
 
 All of %Yhich is respectfully submitted.

 Indiana Military Agency, \ 
 Louisville, Ky., February 1st, 1864. / 
 
 William Hannaman, Esq., 
 
 President Sanitary Commission : 
 
 Sir : — I have the honor to submit my report for the month of 
 •lanuary, 1864. 
 
 The business of the Louisville Agency has been of the usual char- 
 acter. I have had the usual amount of applications made to me for 
 assistance in getting passes to go South to visit the sick and wounded 
 soldiers in the army of the Cumberland. This department of the 
 Agency is of itself the labor of one person. It is the practice of 
 the Post Commandant to send all persons, who apply to him for a 
 pass, and have not suflBcient endorsment, to send them to the Indiana 
 Agent to have their passes made correct. It is often the case that 
 persons living in Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan &c., &c., are 
 directed to me. This work, in addition to all the other duties, keeps 
 us employed constantly during the day, and very often considerable 
 part of the night. I am called up at all hours of the night. No 
 other agents sleep at their office, consequently are not called up. I 
 am determined to sustain the good name of our nolle Governor — that 
 is to do all I can for all persons that call to see me. 
 
 I have distributed all of the sanitary goods that have been con- 
 signed to me from time to time, much to the relief of the sick and 
 wounded men in the various hospitals an<l barracks. If I was kept 
 supplied with sanitary goods, I could dispose of them to good advan- 
 tage. There is a better opening for this purpose than heretofore — 
 everything of the kind is thankfully received by the officers, and the 
 boys get whatever is intended for them. Canned fruit is a nice thing 
 for the sick. 
 
 I continue to haul round the Avounded soldiers from hospital to 
 hospital, Medical Directors discharge office, pay office &c., &c. After 
 obtaining their pay, I then take them to the railroad depot and see 
 them off home, rejoicing, and often sheding tears of gratitude for 
 what I have done for them. 
 
 In the distribution of religious reading, which, as heretofore, ha? 
 been attended to by my wife, she has had the full co-operation of the 
 army Chaplains. They all make way for her to have full opportunity 
 
100 
 
 to visit all the soldiers, distribute tracts, Scriptures and other good 
 books. It also gives her a good opportunity to search out all cases 
 of suffering, also to find out those Tvho have no descriptive rolls. 
 She takes their names, and writes to the regiment for them, and vari- 
 ous other matters are attended to by her, which is cause of mucli 
 gratitude by them, to her, for her kindness to them. 
 
 We have made the acquaintance of many good people of this city 
 who have been stimulated to visit and assist in rendering aid to the 
 poor, sick and wounded soldiers, and the dinners that was given to 
 the various Hospitals on Christmas and New Year's Day, resulted in 
 much good. Many persons who had never taken any part in visiting 
 and assisting the soldiers, have become interested in the boys and are 
 looking after their welfare ever since. It has gotten up a decided 
 better feeling among the citizens towards the soldiers. We fed about 
 six thousand, 6,000 men. 
 
 Enclosed you will find a list of names of deceased soldiers who 
 have died during the month of January, 1864, in the hospitals in 
 this city. 
 
 The report of names of the Indiana soldiers received, transferred, 
 and discharged, I have forwarded as I have received from time to 
 time from the Medical Director. 
 
 The hospitals are not crowded as much as they have been, that \f^ 
 the general hospitals, the small pox hospitals is the exception, that 
 is now more crowded than it ever has been. That terrible disease is 
 very prevalent at this time in Louisville, though not a large number 
 of deaths. You will see by the enclosed list of deaths, that it is 
 larger than ever before reported for one month. The Government 
 undertaker reports that he sold during the month of January, one 
 hundred and eighty-two )182) coffins.-'' 
 
 At no period since I have been here (which has been about four- 
 teen months) has the condition of the hospitals, as to health and gen- 
 eral management, been more satisfactory, or even so well managed. 
 There has been a great improvement in the conduct of the barracks, 
 both No. 1, Exchange and Park barracks. I heard an officer of one 
 the New York Regiments say, that the barracks were much better 
 conducted at Louisville than they were at Washington City. There 
 has been a good opportunity presented during the last month to test 
 
 *Thc ,'ales of Coffins was not all for soldier?. 
 
101 
 
 the management of the barracks. The most of the Veteran Regi- 
 ments on their return, stopped a day or two in the different barracks, 
 awaiting payment. All such regiments, from all States, were fed in 
 Sparks' Hall in Jeffersonville, before they left on the cars to go to 
 Indianapolis, by the liberality of our State, which was received by 
 war-worn veterans very often by giving three times three cheers for 
 Gov. Morton, sometimes with three groans for their own Governor. 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 SANITARY REPORT FROM MEMPHIS, TENN., DR. GEORGE 
 0. JOBES, AGENT. 
 
 Indiana Military Agengy, \ 
 Ifemphis, Tenn., Sept. hth^ 1863. j 
 
 Wm. IIannaman, General Military Agent: 
 
 Sir : — Inclosed you will please find a statement of my receipts and 
 expenditures on account of the Indiana State Sanitary Commission, 
 up to the 31st day of August. 
 
 I have received in all five hundred and sixty-three dollars, of which 
 amount three hundred and thirty dollars, and twenty-five cents,) 
 (^330. 25, ( have been expended, leaving a balance of two hundred 
 and thirty-two dollars and seventy-five cents, ($232.75,) in my hands. 
 
 Of the amount expended, three hundred and twelve dollars and 
 seventy-five cents, (.^212.75,) have been expended directly in furnish- 
 ing destitute soldiers the means of going to their homes on furlough, 
 This was given out in sums of from two to eight dollars, all possible 
 care being taken to prevent imposition. 
 
 "When there first began to be a demand for monej'' for this purpose, 
 I merely took a receipt from the applicant for the amount furnished 
 him, and the transaction was considered a gift ; but so many appli- 
 cations v/ere made, and so much money was required, that I after- 
 wards concluded to take an obligation from each one assisted, to re- 
 fund the money as soon as he " should receive a payment for his ser- 
 vics in the army." 
 
 I have taken such obligations to the amount of two hundred and 
 ninety-six dollars and fifty cents, $296.50,) thirteen dollars of which 
 have been paid and included in my account of receipts. 
 
 I shall continue to collect these claims so far as I can do so with- 
 out harshness, (charging myself with the amounts collected from 
 time to time,) unless otherwise instructed. 
 
105 
 
 I have assisted seventy furloughed Indiana soldiers in reaching 
 their homes, who could not otherwise have gone. 
 
 Acting on my own responsibility, I have also assisted a number of 
 men from other Stctes, chiefly Illinois, which has no agent here now, 
 although it had one here a few weeks since, who assisted a great 
 many men, and who will probably be here again shortly and relieve 
 me from all embarrassment in regard to Illinois men. 
 
 I shall take care that neither the State of Indiana, nor its Sanitary 
 Commission lose anything by these outside operations ; but whenever 
 ft poor sick soldier comes to me and asks a pittance to aid him in 
 reaching the home and rejoining the friends he loves, where northern 
 air and northern scenery may restore to health and vigor his wasted 
 frame, if it is in my power to assist 1 cannot deny. 
 
 The sanitary stores I have distributed, though not in largo quan- 
 tity, have yet done a great deal of good. Nearly all of these goods 
 went directly into the hands of the female nurses, and were distrib- 
 iited by them under the direction of the Ward Surgeons, without 
 passing through any " Circumlocution Oflice," and paying tribute, as 
 most hospital delicacies have to. 
 
 The wine bought of Dr. Taylor has had an excellent effect in Diar- 
 rhea, and other low forms of disease requiring stimulants. It is now 
 nearly all used, and you could not make a better investment of sani- 
 tary money than to buy an additional supply of this wine, if it can 
 be had. 
 
 Most of the goods left mc by Mr. Putnam have been divided be- 
 tween the Regimental Hospitals of the 25th and the 89th, and the 
 Provisional Encampment. A part of them are still on hands, to be 
 distributed as circumstances may require. 
 
 I have onions, potatoes, eggs, dried apples, a few bottles of wine, 
 find a few articles of hospital clothing — nothing more. 
 
 I should like to have my stock of delicacies replenished from time 
 to time. They add greatly to the comfort and well being of the sick, 
 and unless furnished by some of the Sanitary Commissions they are 
 not furnished at all. Send me variety and quantity sufficient to main- 
 tain the sanitary reputation of the Agency and of the State. 
 
 Mrs. George and Miss Hudson leave for home to-day. They have 
 both been paid for service rendered in hospital here ; but Miss Hud- 
 son lost a month's pay on account of going to the regimental hospi- 
 tal of the 100th Indiana Regiment, and remaining there for that 
 time. Her work while at the Regimental Hospital was very hard, and 
 of very great service to the sick, and I recommend that she be paid 
 
106 
 
 by tlie State or by the Sanitary Commission. She will go home by 
 way of Brighton, 111., where she will remain a few weeks, and where 
 you will please send her railroad passes to take her home. Miss 
 Winder is recovering slowly. The other ladies continue to be very 
 useful and are in good health. 
 
 I have been out of railroad passes more than a month, and I shoud 
 like to have a supply as soon as possible. 
 
 A report of changes in the hospitals here since the 15th ult., will 
 be forwarded by the next mail. 
 
 There has not been a case of small pox in the Pest Hospital for 
 several weeks. Many of the typhoid cases brought up from below 
 are proving fatal, but the sickness originating here is not serious as 
 a rule. From all accounts I suppose there must be fully as much or 
 more sickness in Indiana in proportion to numbers, than there is 
 among the resident population here. 
 
 I have completely recovered from my sickness.

 Dear Sir: — Enclosed please find hospital reports from the 1st to 
 the 15th inst. 
 
 A number of patients were transferred from here to St. Louis last 
 Saturday. Their names will appear on subsequent reports as soon 
 as possible. 
 
 Miss Smith arrived to-day, and has been assigned to Jackson Hos- 
 pital. She seems pleased with her situation. 
 
 Mrs. Brake returned yesterday, week. Her box of sanitary stores 
 came to hand all right. 
 
 The five ladies who are to arrive about the 1st of October will be 
 assigned to duty I have no doubt. Dr. Irwin would not promise cer- 
 tainly to employ more than two or three of them, but there will be 
 vacancies to fill by that time that he does not know of now. Send 
 them along. 
 
 Those railroad passes were received to-day.

 So many furloughcd soldiers are over-staying their time tliat it is 
 :^oing to be a source of vast trouble. They are all being marked 
 leserters, and when the record is once made up it is a permanent 
 3ne, and, although there may not be any criminal intent in any of 
 :hese cases, the record evidence of it will be hard to disprove in all 
 ?ases, and perhaps impossible in some. I am so impressed with the 
 mportance of this matter that I would like for you to confer with 
 ■he Governor and suggest the propriety of his issuing a circular 
 irging furloughed soldiers to return promptly, and informing them 
 hat no Surgeon's certificate will enable them to have their furlorughs 
 extended. ]Many of them do not know this.

 SANITARY REPORT FROM WASHINGTON, D. C— WM. H. 
 DE MOTTE, AGENT. 
 
 Indiana Military Agency, ) 
 332 F sL cor. 10th st., Washington, Aug. '24th, 1864. / 
 
 Wm, Hannaman, Esq., President Indiana Sanitary Commission : 
 
 Sir: — Yesterday I took the noon boat at the foot of 7th street, 
 »nd after a pleasant ride of half an hour stepped upon the landing, 
 and began my Avalk about the quaint old city of Alexandria. I first 
 called at the First Division Head Quarters, in the " old" Mansion 
 House — famous as the head-quarters of Gen. Braddock, and of Gen. 
 Washington ; and as the scene of many important councils during the 
 last centuary. Here, through the kindness of the oflacer in charge, I 
 <'xamined the register, and obtained some information in reference to 
 the number and location of Indiana men in the several hospitals about 
 the city. This examining the register is a privilege not always ac- 
 corded to me, as a strict interpretation of the orders of the War De- 
 partment forbid it. 
 
 Leaving the grand old hotel where I should have been glad to 
 spend an hour, I took ray way southwestward across the central part 
 of the city ; passing for a mile or more along the rough bouldere<l 
 streets with royal names, which remind one of 
 " The good old Colony times, 
 When we were under the King," 
 to the " Soldier' Rest." This hospital is a model of order and neat- 
 ness ; though I do not admire its large square wards so much as the 
 long narrow halls of Armory Square, or Lincoln hospitals. 
 
 Here I found the following Indianians : Privates G. W. Lambert- 
 son, Co. K, 7th Regt. ; James Martin dale, Co. C, 7th Regt. ; William 
 Oox, Co. D, 7th Regt. ; Wm. S. Balch, Co. G, 19th Regt. ; C. P. Sharp, 
 Co. H, 20th Regt., and Corp. James E. Hubbard, Co. A, 7th Regt. 
 
All were able to walk about, and though they expressed various 
 wants, I judged they were getting along very well. 
 
 About half a mile westward from the " Rest" is " Slough Barracks" 
 Hospital. On my way there I passed two grave yards — the old, 
 and the new. The old, with its evergreens and tangled growth of 
 neglected shrubbery ; its gray moss covered stones leaning in every 
 direction along the grass-grown walks — the new, with its long regi- 
 mental lines of mounds, "with the neat, white-painted, well lettered 
 boards, and perfect walks. The grass was green and beautiful on 
 some, and here and there appeared a flower ; but many were fresh, 
 and there was space where many others will yet be made. It was a 
 beautiful sight, fit to remind one of the spirit of Christian kindness 
 working amid the awful ravages of war. 
 
 Slough Barracks Hospital lacks the advantage of a pleasant loca- 
 tion, being destitute of trees, or even grass, and wanting in the taste- 
 ful decorations seen in some others. Still it is scupulously clean, 
 and well officered. Here are Corp. David Fort, Co. B, 19th Regt. ; 
 pri\ates Charles Keyser, Co. D, 8th Regt. ; Hira^m Massey, Co. H, 7th 
 Regt. ; Lewis Graham, Co. G, 7th Regt. ; W. C. Kaufman, Co. E,7th 
 Regt. ; Hamilton Ingle, Co. E, 19th Regt. ; John H. Denton, Co. C, 
 19th Regt. ; J. R. Aruel, Co. K, 19th Regt. ; Martin O'Brien, Co. A, 
 20th Regt, and Simon Critis, Co. E, 20th Regiment. All these were 
 also able to walk about the wards, (and some were out in the city,) 
 except Simon Critis and John H. Denton, who had been quite severely 
 wounded, but their wounds were healing rapidly. George Tumblin, 
 Co. A, 28th regt., died August 5th. 
 
 Striking across and back of the city about a mile, I came to 
 *' Sickles' Barracks'' Hospital, v/hich is much more extensive than 
 cither of the others I have mentioned. Among the patients are : 
 Sargeants Zachariah Coffin, Co. G, 19th Regt. ; J. S. Taylor, Co. G, 
 20th Regiment : Privates Curtis Davis, Co. G, 19th Regt. ; Thos. A. 
 Wood, Co. C, 14th Regt. ; F. M. Huflf, Co. B, 19th Regt. ; James Do- 
 lan, Co. B, 20th Regt.; 0. W. Johnson, Co.F, 7th Regt. ; Morris 0'- 
 Rourk, Co. F, 19th Regt.; Jeremiah White, Co. I, 19th Regt.; Wm. 
 Fletcher, Co. D, 19th Regt. ; G. W, FuUhart, Co. K, 19th Regt., and 
 Perry Bowen, Co. G, 20th Regt. Corp. Peter 0. Alloway, Co. B, 20th 
 Regt., and private John Holcomb, Co. A, 7th Regt., had died since 
 my last visit. Several of these hope to get furloughs soon. There 
 is a great desire manifested among all our men here, even the weakest, 
 to participate in the stirring scenes at home ; and wherever they go, 
 whether to the battle or to the ballot box, the Union will have in 
 
 R. I. S, 0.— 8. 
 
110 
 
 them nncompromising supporters. More than one has said to me,- 
 " I cannot do anything b.ere, but I could at home. I could talk — I 
 could vote." One Irishman, who had just returned from home, tell- 
 ing of his encounter with a Copperhead, exclaimed : " Bedad, an 
 did'nt I break his ould head ? See the dint on my crutch !" But I 
 have no room to narrate the many instances of patriotism, endurance, 
 and courage one constantlj? meets Avith. 
 
 By this time I was about tired out, and quite hungry, not having 
 met with dinner on my route, and was quite willing to make my way 
 to the boat, leaving three other hospitals for another day's visit. 
 
 Do not think strange when I speak of my visits to hospitals as 
 pleasant. True, an hospital is a place where men suffer; and suffer- 
 ing is neither pleasant to the patient nor to the observer ; in fact there 
 is a disposition in almost every one to avoid the sight of distress, but 
 a hospital is also a place where one may relieve suffering, and that, 
 of all earthly things, affords most pleasure. It is a place to learn and 
 enjoy the blessedness of giving ; and the earnest " Thank you," " God 
 bless you,'' is a rich reward for the kind heart and ready hand that 
 labor there. It is not pleasant to see the brow knit with pain, and 
 bear the groan of agony ; but it is pleasant to smooth that brow — 
 to ease that pain, and minister comfort to that trDubled mind. It 
 is a dark, gloomy place, but it is peasant to bring in sunshine and- 
 good cheer. 
 
 Yours Respectfully,

 Indiana Military Agent.- 
 
 WILLIAM H. DE MOTTE'S REPORT OF MILITARY AGENT, 
 WASHINGTON, D. C. 
 
 William Hannaman, Sayiitary Agent : 
 
 The records of the Sanitary operations of this oflBce up to July 1st, 
 1*864, are so meagre that it is impossible to make any correct pre- 
 sentation of them. We know, however, that large amounts of money 
 and supplies have been received at different tim-es, and distributed to 
 Indiana soldiers in the various Hospitals and Camps in this Depart- 
 ment ; but as I find no record of receipts, and but fcAV notes of dis- 
 tribution, there arc no data from which to estimate their extent- or 
 value. 
 
Ill 
 
 Since July 1st, 1864-, the receipts of money from tlic Indiana Sani- 
 tary Commission, and the supplies purchased therewith, liave been 
 entered upon the books of the office, and are included in tlie Monthly 
 Reports forwarded to the President, Wm. Hannaman, Esq. This 
 fact accounts for the apparent increase in the expenses of the last 
 four months. 
 
 A great amount of Hospital visiting has been performed under tlie 
 direction of this office, not only by persons connected with it, but by 
 benevolent and patriotic ludianians resident in or visiting Washing- 
 ton City. 
 
 A "Tent," furnished with suitable supplies, has been kept open as 
 near " the Front" as practicable since the opening of the present 
 campaign. It is now at City Point, Va., in charge of (jeo. A. Huron. 
 There is also a gentleman at Winchester, Va., ready, and to some ex- 
 tent prepared, to give special relief to Indiana men. In addition to 
 those, a supply of clothing, stationery, &c., is kept in the office for 
 the relief of any wdio call. l''he office is kept open as nearly all the 
 time as practicable, and all applications, either in person br by letter, 
 attended to immediately. 
 
 A great deal of good has been accomplished in answering inquiries 
 of friends and relatives in reference to sick, wounded or dead soldiers : 
 also in procuring for soldiers Descriptive Rolls, Certificates of Muster, 
 Furloughs, Transfers, Discharges, &c. 
 
 The Register shows that three hundred and forty claims for arrears 
 of Pay and Bounty, and for Pensions have been filed through this 
 office ; nearly one half of which have been allowed, and the Certifi- 
 cates sent to the parties applying. Besides these, several hundred 
 claims of various kinds, amounting in the aggregate to a large amount 
 of money, have been negotiated, the money received and paid over. 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 W. H. DE MOTTE.

 SANITARY REPORTS FROM VARIOUS MILITARY POSTS, 
 BY MR. GEORGE MERRITT. 
 
 Indiana Military Agency, 
 Helena, ArJc, March 1, 1863, 7 o'clock, P. M. 
 
 Gov. 0. P. Morton, Indianapolis, Ind.: 
 
 ■ We arrived here at 2 o'clock this P. M., and have visited the fol- 
 lowing Indiana Regiments stationed here, and given them their share 
 of the stores in my charge, as shown by the receipts inclosed ; all 
 are given to the privates or to those they have selected to receive 
 them, and I believe they will be faithfully distributed. I also have 
 had made out a complete list of all the sick now in General and Regi- 
 mental Hospitals here, as shown by the reports inclosed. 
 
 The Regiments visited here are the 1st Ind. Cavalry, 34t]u 24th, 
 llth, 43d, 47th and 46th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. The present 
 condition of all these regiments is good. You will see by the reports 
 that most of the hospital patients are convalescing. 
 
 The health and spirits of the troops at this point are good, and the 
 Paymasters are here and at work. I had no word from you at Mem- 
 phis, and shall hasten down to the fleet as fast as possible, and call 
 here again on my return. 
 
 There was great rejoicing among the troops here when they learned 
 that a boat was here loaded with Iloosiers fresh from Iiome, and very 
 many hearts were made glad, and^physical wants relieved by the good 
 things which we distributed ; but, notwithstanding the large amount 
 of stores that I have brought, when it comes to be divided among the 
 Regiments, it seems to be but a very small portion for each. 
 Y'ours truly, 
 
 GEORGE MERRITT, Agent.

 Wm. Hannaman 
 
 Dear Sir: — Since Avriting to you, I have made two trips below for 
 wounded with the hospital train, one to Resaca and the last to Kings- 
 ton, from which I returned late last night. When we arrived at 
 Kingston, the first ambulance train from the front (some twenty-five 
 miles from Kingston) was just coming in, and in two hours twelve 
 hundred wounded men from the 20th Army Corps (Hooker's] were 
 there to be unloaded, fed, wounds dressed, &c., and only six hospital 
 tents to put them in, and no previous preparation,. or, at least, no 
 adequate preparation, for caring for them ; and as they had been in 
 the ambulances all night and all day, and the nurses and drivers who 
 come with them were all worn out and only anxious to get rid of 
 their charge before dark, you may imagine there was mvie confusion, 
 and an immensity of suffering, from every imaginable kind of wounds, 
 that had been broiled all day in the hot sun, and pounded all day 
 over bad roads, in the ambulances, until every other part not wounded 
 was bruised and sore ; and .so tired ! oh, so tired and sore ! The 
 mountain of suffering seemed so big that it seemed useless to attempt 
 to alleviate it by removing one at a time ; but as that was the only 
 way, I pulled off my coat, and reported at once to the Surgeon in 
 charge, and was soon engaged among the ambulances, sorting out the 
 amputations, to put in the tents, which only held about half of that 
 class. All the rest had their choice, to stay all night in the am- 
 bulances, or lay on the ground without shelter; and most of them 
 preferred the ground. While the ambulances were being unload- 
 ed, Mrs. Bickersdike Mrs. Porter, Mrs. George and Mrs. Horner, 
 were busy getting tea and coffee prepared by the barrel, and then 
 all hands were busy passing it around (or at least all the well ones 
 that could be found), together with crackers, of which we happened 
 to have a few barrels : and by ten o'clock we had them all fed, and I 
 went to work to assist the surgeons dressing the wounds ; but soon 
 found that some were without any surgeons, either because they 
 were entirely worn out, or because of some misunderstanding. Think- 
 ing that the surgeons at the post were to take charge of them as soon 
 as they arrived, or for some other reason, there was none to care for 
 them ; and to this class I turned my attention, dressing such wounds 
 as I could, and begging some surgeon to attend to such as I could 
 
114 
 
 not; but still hundreds of cases had to remain undressed, most of" 
 whom, after a while, were worn out with calling for help, and fell 
 asleep ; and with carrying water to one, stimulants to another, cover- 
 ing for another that was cold as the night wore on, and looking up 
 deserted cases everywhere, and doing what I could to relieve their 
 wants, by two o'clock I, too, was worn out, and lay down to sleep, 
 leaving Mrs. Bickersdyke and iShs. Porter still at work preparing 
 breakfast. 
 
 At four o'clock I Avas awakened by a poor boy who had nearly half 
 his lower jaw shot away, and had not been able to make any one 
 u-nderstand his wants or help him. So I commenced again and went 
 on until six, and then assisted loading on the hospital train as many 
 of the worst cases as they would hold ; and I came up with them to 
 this place — I think with the biggest load of suffering ever hauled by 
 by a locomotive. One man died on the way up, and two were in a 
 dying condition. I am loading a car to-day, and to-morrow go back 
 to Kingston. Our army is having a big fight near Dallas, which was 
 not yet decided when I left yesterday, but all seem confident of the 
 I'esult, and that it will be right. Yours, truly, 
 
 GEO. MERRITT. 
 
 Kingston, June 4, 1864. 
 
 Mr. Wm. Hannaman 
 
 Dear Sir : — In my last letter from Chattannooga, I informed you 
 that information had been received that" 4,000 wounded were to be 
 sent to Kingston next day, and that I inferred from all I could hear 
 that a general engagement had come off, Sec. 
 
 Only 2,000 of the wounded have as yet reached here. It is 
 thouffht here that the rest of them have not been sent because of the 
 frequent interruptions from the rebel cavalry that are constantly 
 hovering around between here and our army and picking up such 
 stragglers and trains as are not well guarded. 
 
 If our army hold Marietta without molestation, and continue to 
 push the enemy, that place will be made next hospital depot, and the 
 bridges will soon be repaired, and we will move up there. At present 
 it requires all the transportation here to get ammunition and hard 
 tack to the army. 
 
 The wounded have been sent to Chattanooga and Nashville as fast 
 
115 
 
 as possible, and there are only about five hundred wounded left here. 
 I got back here very opportunely, just as an ambulance train came 
 from the front for whom the medical department here were not pre- 
 pared, and -we furnished a new hospital here with shirts, sheets, 
 bandages, rags, lint, and all the eatables for two days, and now 
 Mrs. George, of Ind., and Mrs. Horner, of Iowa, are there in charge 
 of the diet department. But everything in this latitude seems to be 
 very uncertain, and it is very likely the hospitals will all be emptied 
 'to-morrow and sent North, and it is just as likely that we may have 
 2,000 or 3,000 more wounded on our hands in the same time. 
 
 General Cruft leaves here to-day with a train of 1200 wagons and 
 a large guard for the front. If I had some one to leave in charge of 
 the goods here, I should go with him ; but I have too many goods 
 here to leave in the present uncertain condition of things here, and 
 must wait until the railroads are repaired, or until I can get some 
 one to take my place. 
 
 Mrs. Georo-e is a o^ood worker, but I fear her health will not hold 
 out. 
 
 I have just received a telegram from Carter, at Chattanooga, that 
 a car with eight casks of ice and fifty packages sanitary stores left 
 there for me this morning. The surgeons seem to think it a very 
 fine thing, and it is the only ice that has been brought here by any 
 one. I hope it will arrive in good order, 
 
 I am quite well, and well satisfied that I am here, and hope to be 
 able to do very much more for the relief of our wonnded. 
 
 Yours, truly, GEO. MERRITT. 
 
 AcKWETH, Ga., June 8, 1864. 
 
 Mr. Wm. H ANN a man : 
 
 Dear Sir : — I reached this place this morning, leaving Wallace at 
 Kingston to take care of the stores. I come heie to try and get 
 transportation by wagon, but have not succeeded yet ; have just writ- 
 ten to Wallace to try and hire a Sutler's team, and I tried to get an 
 order from Gen. Sherman to make them kelp us, but did not succeed. 
 This place is about half way from Kingston to Atlanta, and the R. R. 
 Bridge ie expected to be done by next Monday, when the cars will 
 run here. The whole army is here, and Gen. Sherman's head-quar- 
 ters are here now, but the army is to move forward to-morrow. The 
 
116 1 
 
 cyder is to move in compact form, not presenting more than eigiii 
 miles front, nor more than five miles in depth from front to rear, and 
 they are expected to move about five miles to-morrow ; all this con- 
 traband, but will do no harm if you don't publish it, and it may be 
 very old when you get it. I had to walk about half the way out 
 here, and feel I think about as a soldier feels after a hard march, but 
 am well excepting the fatigue, which makes the boards or ground soft at 
 night. I shall continue to make every possible effort to get stores 
 forV^-ard to this place, but the army has really no more wagons than 
 are absolutely needed to get hard-tack and ammunition forward; and 
 as the first business is to whip the rebels, I don't think it right to in- 
 terfere with those articles coming, but if there is any chance to slip 
 in stores or get them forward in bulk, I shall surely do it. I staid 
 last night with Col. Biddle, of the 6th Ind, Cavalry, and in command 
 of a Brigade composed of the 5th and 6th ; they are very much worn 
 down, both men and horses, with hard campaigning, but not much 
 sickness. 
 
 It is expected there will be hard fighting here soon, all reports of 
 the rebels evacuating to the contrary notwithstanding. They are 
 forced to evacuate or fall back 2 or 3 miles, and by the time it gets 
 to the papers, it has grown to 20 or W miles ; nt least such has been 
 the proportion between the reports and the truth, so far as I have 
 seen. I tell you they are fu/Jding every inch they can zvith great obsti- 
 nacy. The 17th, Gen. Blair's army corps, has just arrived from 
 Iluntsville via Rome ; this adds about 15,000 to the effective force of 
 the army. I hope they will soon fight the decisive battle, for my bu- 
 siness and feelings are both pulling quite hard toward home, but shall 
 try and stick to the ship until Atlanta is ours. I enclose a list of the 
 casualties in the 23d Corps, as I have just obtained them from a mem- 
 ber of the Christian Commission, who stays with them all the time, 
 and I believe is as nearly correct as possible, and nearly complete up 
 to this time ; these are all since the army left Kingston. I shall send 
 complete lists whenever they can be obtained, and in the meantime 
 sf:'nd such fractional lists as can be had. 
 
 Tours, truly, 
 
 GEO. MERRITT. 
 
117 
 
 Big Shanty, Ga., Jrma 20, 1864-, 
 
 Mr. Wm» Hannaman, Preset. 
 
 I enclose you a list of such casualties as I have been able to get in 
 the last few days — it is probably not full for any regiment. The army 
 is constantly moviiig, and it is impossible to get complete lists- with- 
 out neglecting some other mattsrs ; and we think that every one would 
 prefer that we give what time we have to the care of their friends, 
 and providing for their wants, rather than making complete lists ; but 
 we will continue to furnish such lists as we can The rain has been 
 coming down in torrents for several days, but it is pleasant to-day,. 
 The army is constantly advancing, in spite of th-e most obstinate re- 
 sistance ; on every ridge, in every field, and in every piece of woods. 
 are lines of intrenchments that have to be carried as we advance, and 
 they are being carried every day, but with less loss on our side than 
 might be expected ; but few charges are made, but most of the lines 
 are carried by good use of artillery, or by some flank movement when 
 possible, or by charge when nothing else will do, for carried they are 
 day after day, and week after week, for five weeks past, and no one 
 here seems to have any doubt but we shall continue to carry them 
 until the object of the campaign is accomplished. The rebels have a 
 large army of negroes in their rear, constantly making works for 
 them. 
 
 I have telegraphed to- day to " send pickles and krout, in large 
 quantities." Scurvy is becoming somewhat prevalent, and we would 
 like to get some for distribution in the regiments if sent soon. Onions 
 should be sent as soon as they can be had. 
 
 Mrs, George is troubled for want of a Military Pass, which, she 
 says, you promised her, and wishes you would inform her at once if 
 you can do so, if not, please let her know, as she can obtain one 
 through the Christian Commission. I have seen her at several places 
 and think in usefulness she is above the average of ladies in the field,- 
 
 Our stock of stores continue small ; either they don't have them at 
 Nashville or they don't send them. We are, however, doing as much 
 for our men through the other Commissions, as we do with our own 
 stores. 
 
 Mr. Wallace has been here some time, and we can work together 
 first rate. Mr. Rude has been here a few days, and that is all that 
 we have seen of those you sent out. 
 
 It is the general impression that the army will rest awhile at Ma- 
 rietta ; if so, I shall eome home then, and I think Mr. Wallace will do 
 
118 
 
 •30 at the Bame time, and as I think it important that we keep an 
 agent with this army, I hope you will be able to get some one to come 
 and spend the balance of the sum;£ier here, or with the army. It is 
 but little use to send agents for a short time, indeed I don't think it 
 pays at all. 
 
 While I write, our artillery is constantly thundering away at 
 Kenesaw mountain, where the rebs have their strongest position. 
 Our soldiers fight day after day, and with as little concern or excite- 
 ment as though they were in the harvest field at work, and it is a 
 harvest field of death and suifering for many. 
 
 "Xours, truly, 
 
 GEO. MERRITT. 
 
 Big Shanty, Ga., June 24, 1864. 
 
 Mr. Wm. IIannaman, President: 
 
 Dp]AR Sir : — We are still stuck fast in the mud near this place, 
 and are getting very tired of this miserable country ; and the sol- 
 diers arc getting very uneasy, for fear Congress will pass a law or 
 something by which they will be compelled to accept as a gift this 
 rebel country, which the inhabitants here say will average about five 
 bushels of corn or wheat per acre. To-day is clear and pleasant, 
 and if it continues so a day or two, the army will soon reach Mari- 
 etta, but they have been constantly at work, through all the rainy 
 weather, and have advanced our lines more or less every day. Ken- 
 nesaw Mountain, directly in our front, is considered impregnable. It 
 is covered with artillery, and is about as high as Lookout Mountain 
 at Chattanooga, and I think they will have to manage it about as the 
 old woman near here says they drove them out of this place. She 
 says : " Mr. Sherman ivith his company made two roivs of fight 
 through her yard, and knocked down her ash-hopper; then Hooker took 
 his company and fit ^ em eendwise, and they had to run.'' But long 
 before this reaches you, we will probably be in Marietta ; but think 
 it will be some time before we get to Atlanta, for I am satisfied that 
 what they call level country here is what we would call very hilly, 
 and is all the way susceptible of strong defense, and with their 
 negroes they will make it a hard road to travel. Still, it is only a 
 question of time, for every man in the army says it shall be, and is 
 ready to do his share .of the work^ whether it is fighting or digging, 
 
119 
 
 or whetlier the time is longer or shorter. The army is very healthy, 
 and in good spirits as a whole ; the worst thing is a tendency to 
 scurvy, for want of vegetable diet. I think if we had pickles and 
 kraut to distribute freely to the regiments, the health of the army 
 would be complete. We are very nearly out of goods, and have been 
 for days, and, only for our co-operation with other Commissions, we 
 would have very little to give, and little to do. For the last week 
 we have distributed more of the United States and Western goods 
 than our own. We sent Carter to Nashville a week ago to get up a 
 car load of the goods most needed, and to come back v/ith it. We 
 instructed him to buy such as were not on hand. We also telegraphed 
 to you to send " pickles and kraut in large quantities," but the rebels 
 are so busy in our rear, cutting railroads and burning trains, that 
 there is no certainty when we shall get any more goods. We intend 
 to try and visit again all the Indiana Regiments, if possible, and get 
 for them all we can from other Commissions, and as correct lists as 
 we can, and then come home. 
 
 I enclose you several lists, obtained yesterday, and are believed to 
 be correct up to the present time. They were furnished by the officers 
 of the regiments. 
 
 They are now sending off the wounded on the cars, and we find 
 plenty to do to look after them as they leave here, to furnish them 
 with what they will need on the road- -a matter that is very often 
 overlooked by the medical officers. Yesterday there was a very fla- 
 grant and criminal neglect on the part of the Surgeon in charge of 
 ninety wounded that were sent from here, and Avliich we are having 
 investigated, and have the word of the Medical Directory that if the 
 guilt can be properly fixed on the right person, he shall be dismissed 
 the service. Yours, truly,

 Hon. 0. ?. Morton : 
 
 Dear Sir: — I gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a lot of San- 
 itary Stores from you, tlirougli your ever efficient, energetic agent^ 
 Prof. Hibben, and would return you the sincere thanks of our Indiana 
 sailors and officers, as well as my own, for the interest you have 
 taken in the welfare of your sick and wounded soldie rs and sailors 
 heretofore, as well as the soldiers and sailors now who have just come 
 through the sickly and wearisome Red River campaign, and hoping 
 that Indiana soldiers and sailors may ever prove as true interest of 
 our country as you are to their wants. 
 
 I remain yours, truly. 
 
 GEORGE BARTER. 
 Pilot U. S. Steamer St. Clair. 
 
 Indianapolis, June 13, 1864. 
 Wm. Hannaman, Esq., Prelident Sanitary Commission : 
 
 Sir : — I have the honor to present for your perusal and approval 
 the following report of my mission to the Indiana soldiers in the 
 Department of the Gulf, and especially those connected with the late 
 expedition up Red River. 
 
 In accordance with the instructions I received from you, I imme- 
 diately proceeded to Cairo, took the steamer " Belle of St. Louis" on 
 the evening of the 5th ult., and- -arrived at Memphis on the following 
 
121 
 
 da^ at 5 o'clock P. M. I called upon the Agent, Dr. Jobes, and 
 upon B. J. D. Irvin, U. S. A. , Superintendent of Hospitals, and vis- 
 ited several of the hospitals, with a view to learn whether any of the 
 wounded from the Red River expedition had yet arrived. I found a 
 number of Indiana soldiers, sick and wounded, in the several hospi- 
 tals, but none from the Red River expedition. On Sunday, the 8th, 
 however, before I had left the city, a boat load of wounded and sick 
 arrived from below upon a hospital boat. Upon visiting the boat, I 
 found that there were twenty-one Indiana soldiers among this lot of 
 wounded. Their names, regiments, etc., I immediately forwarded to 
 you by letter,, and need not therefore repeat them in this report. 
 Some of these were severely wounded. All Avere immediately trans- 
 ferred to the Memphis General Hospitals, where they received the 
 kindest and most careful attention of the Surgeons, and the attend- 
 ants, male and female. I gave a small sum of money into the hands 
 of Dr. Jobes and Hospital Matron, Miss Hovey, in the name of the 
 Indiana Sanitary Commission, to be appropriated to the purchase of 
 lemons and other delicacies not furnished by the hospitals, for the use 
 of needy cases among the sick and wounded. [See receipts, accompa- 
 nying this paper.] I am happy to state, knowingly, that our soldiers 
 in hospital at Memphis are well cared fur. Dr. Jobes seems to be 
 earnest and active in his duties, and Major B. J. D. Irvin, U. S. A.. 
 Superintendent of Hospitals, is, in my opinion, one of the most effi- 
 cient officers in the service of the United States, and the hospitals 
 under his charge, I think, will compare favorably in every respect 
 with those at any other point, east or west. 
 
 I arrived at Vicksburgh on the 10th ult., and spent the followinir 
 day in visiting the hospitals. I found but nine Indiana soldiers in 
 hospital here, and all convalescent. Their names, regiments, &c. I 
 herewith enclose with this paper. One of these soldiers, Jacob M, 
 Bay, of the 52d Indiana, Company I, appeared to be in a very rago-ed 
 condition, and, as he informed me, was without money and unable to 
 draw any clothing in the absence of his descriptive list. I accord- 
 dingly furnished him with enough money to purchare a pair of panta- 
 loons, which was most gratefully received. I also found here one 
 private 11. C. Griffiths, of the 34th Ind., held under arrest as a 
 deserter. Upon application to me as Indiana Sanitary Agent, at his 
 own request, I presented his case to General Slocum, who immedi- 
 ately gave orders for said Griffiths to be returned to his regiment for 
 examination and trial. 
 
 Upon presenting your letter to the Western Sanitary Agent at 
 
122 
 
 Vicksburgh, I was kindly furnished with a supply of sanitary stores, 
 (a list of which accompanies this paper), for which I receipted, and 
 which, together with a few articles that I had purchased at Memphis, 
 I shipped on board steamer " Goldon Era," and started for Alexan- 
 dria. We arrived at the mouth of Red River (having been delayed 
 one night and half a day at Natchez), on the 14th ult., at 6| o'clock 
 P. M. We found General Warren here with a small force, and upon 
 reporting to him, were ordered to remain where we were for the pres- 
 ent, I learned, also, that General Banks was returning with his 
 army to the Mississippi River. On the 15th the steamer " Sallie 
 List'' arrived from Memphis with a lot of Sanitary stores (princi- 
 pally potatoes), from the United States Sanitary Agent, under the 
 care of Mr. Carpenter, local agent at Memphis. 
 
 On the 16th ult., I learned that General Banks with his command 
 had reached the Atchafalaya, and upon application to General Canby 
 our boat was permitted to ascend the river to that point. We met 
 the van fuard of General Bank's army on the 17th ult,, and found 
 them encra^^cd in building a pontoon across the bayou, or rivcT, to 
 cross the army. In the meanwhile, however, our rear Avas constantly 
 skirmishing with the pursuing enemy, who were endeavoring to har- 
 rass our retreat, and our wounded were continually being brought in 
 to the the hospital boats, until three our four were filled with wounded 
 men from the various corps, divisions and regiments. The troops 
 seemed utterly worn out by the march, which had been kept up for 
 several days and nights, and the hot sun and burning sands, and 
 clouds of flying dust rendered the condition of the soldiers very 
 uncomfortable. Immediately upon my arrival I sent word to General 
 Cameron Colonel Slack, Colonel Bringhurst, in command of Indiana 
 troops that I had arrived with some stores for general distribution, and 
 was desirous of ministering to the wants of all, so far as practicable. 
 
 In the meanwh'le the " Sallie List'" not having arrived, and there 
 beinc no other sanitary supplies on hand, except those in my posses- 
 sion I was compelled to distribute the greater portion among the 
 hospital boats for the general use of the suft'ering wounded. This I 
 did takinc receipts for the same, so far as practicable. The remain- 
 der I "-ave into the hands of Indiana soldiers, as they were sent to 
 me with orders from ofl&cers in command. I also purchased six dol- 
 lars worth of light bread for certain invalid soldiers of various regi- 
 ments, taking their receipts for the same. 
 
 My supplies being exhausted, orders were sent down for the "Sal- 
 lie List"' to come up. Upon her arrival we learned that the Sanitary 
 
Agent, Mr. Carpe-nter, had Been accidentlj left behind, and that the- 
 Captain of the boat declined to allow any of the stores to be tak-en 
 from the boat in the absence of the agent, without an order from 
 some official authority, i' thereupon went to General Banks and 
 made a statement of the case, and he immediately gave an order for 
 the stores to be turned over for distribution. Two hundred bushels- 
 of potatoes and other stores were soon divided out among the hospi- 
 tal boats, and among the soldiers generally. 
 
 On the 20th the rear guard crossed the Bayou and proceeded 
 towards the Mississippi River. 
 
 I spent Sunday, the 22d, on the gunboat "Lafayette," the flag; 
 ship of Captain Foster, U. S. N., of Bloomington, Ind. I preached 
 at 11 o'clock upon deck, to a very respectable and very attentive 
 audience of sailors. 
 
 On the 23d I took a steamer for New Orleans, for the purpose of 
 visiting the hospitals there, and of obtaining a new supply of sani- 
 tary stores for the troops lying at Morganza Bend, below the mouth 
 of Red River. 
 
 I arrived at New Orleans on the 24th ult., called upon the local 
 agent, Mr. Kimball, with him visited several of the hospitals, and 
 appropriated some money to several needy cases. Mr. Kimball 
 promptly gave me the supplies for which I asked (a list of which is 
 herewith enclosed), sent them' to the boat, an:^ on the 26th I arrived 
 with them at Morganza Bend. Through tlie favor of Captain Foster^, 
 who ordered a steam tug foi' my assistance, I very soon succeeded in 
 distributing the stores to a portion of the 21st Indiana, heavy artil- 
 lery, under the command of Captain Hinkle; also, to a portion of 
 General McGinnis' command. [See receipts, accompanying this 
 report. 
 
 I also gave Captain Foster, U. S. N., a small lot of stores for the 
 use of his fleet. In addition to favors above mentioned, Captain 
 Foster settled a bill of freight of $16, charged by steamer " New 
 Orleans,'' for transporting sanitary stores to Morganza Bend. 
 
 I also gave some under-clothing to Horace Bell upon an order 
 of General Warren. Bell is an Indianian, and was operating as a^ 
 scout for General Warren. 
 
 On the 28th ult., I took steamer "Pauline Carroll'' on my return 
 northward. I found the 18th (Veteran) Indiana (Colonel Washburn 
 commanding), on board, returning home on furlough. I preached to 
 the Regiment on Sunday, the 29th ult., at the request of the Colonel 
 and Chaplain. On Monday, the 30th, eight musket! shots were fired 
 
124 
 
 at the boat by guerrillas, at Gaines' Landing, but no damage was 
 •done. 
 
 In conclusion, I desire most respectfully to state that I believe that 
 my mission was as successful as I esuld have hoped under all the 
 circumstances. The suifering of some needy ones was relieved 
 through eur instrumentality, and the soldiers of Indiana, and indeeil 
 of the various States represented in General Banks' array, had tangi- 
 ble and convincing evidence of the sympathy and caae of the Indiana 
 Sanitary Commission. 
 
 In view of the late changes inaugurated In the Gulf Department, 
 ■I would most respectfully suggest that the interest of our soldiers 
 will require an efficient General Agent in behalf of the Sanitary Com- 
 mission, to be located at Vicksburg with General Canby, the chief of 
 the entire South-western Department, whose duty it shall be to look 
 after the v,ants of the sick and wounded from Memphis to the Galf. 
 
 Such an arrangement would, in my opinion, render the operations 
 of the Indiana Sanitary Commission in the south-west more effective 
 and satisfactory to all concerned. 
 
 I am very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 H. B. HIBBEK

 Indianapolis, July 18, 1865. 
 Wm. Hannaman, Esq, President Ind. San. Com. : 
 
 Sir: — Of my operations in the Army of the Potomac, I have the 
 honor to report as follows : 
 
 I reached Washington on the evening of June 24. Early in the 
 morning of the next day, I went out in search of our Agency Rooms, 
 which, after considerable walking, I found to be at 332, F street. 
 Brother Montfort had just gone out on business. I called again in 
 the afternoon and was warmly received by brother M. He informed 
 me that he had received a letter from his clerk, Mr. Lantz, in 
 charge of our Agency at City Point, asking for a new supply of cer- 
 
 R. I. S. C— 9 
 
126 
 
 tain sanitary goods. It Avas agreed that I should purchase said stores 
 and proceed to City Point, in charge of them, and relieve Mr. Lantz, 
 whose presence Mr. Montfort very much desired in his ofEce. 
 
 Next day was Sunday, and most intolerably hot. On Monday I 
 purchased all the goods desired, and by the aid of Mr. Montfort, 
 secured a pass for them and myself for City Point. I was informed 
 by Mr. Montfort that the boat left for City Point at 10 o'clock A. 
 M. However, upon reaching the boat with the goods, at that hour, 
 I learned that the hour for the departure of the boat was 2 o'clock 
 P. M. I got on board and, finally, at the hour before named, we 
 started down the Potomac. I met a lady en board our vessel, Mrs. 
 Link, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on her way to Fortress Monroe 
 to see her husband, who had been wounded in one of the late battles- 
 Upon learning that I was on Indiana Sanitary Agent, she informed 
 me that her husband, was from Franklin county, Indiana. As she 
 had a recommendation from Governor Curtin, and seemed to be poor, 
 I gave her five dollars for the use of her husband, in hoopital, taking 
 her receipt, and paid for her meals on the boat. I reached City 
 Point on the 29th ult., and after iivo hours hard Avork I succeeded in 
 getting all my goods together. 
 
 The confusion and rush, upon the arrival of the boat at City Point, 
 are beyond description. The United States Sanitary, the Christian 
 Commission and most of the "State Reliefs" had goods on board, 
 which were carried off the boat and piled upon the landing. It 
 requires activity and extreme vigilance to avoid losing something in 
 the grand melee. 
 
 After securing all my boxes, I left them in charge of the Wharf 
 Master and started on foot to find our Agency head quarters. 
 
 Upon inquiry, I learned that they were located a mile and a half 
 from the landing. The dust was several inches deep along the road, 
 but I succeeded in trudging through it Avith little difficulty and 
 reached our quarters late in the evening, where I was received most 
 kindly by Mr. Lantz. Mr. Lantz returned to Washington and I took 
 charge of our Agency at City Point. Upon examination of stock 
 on hand, from the demand constantly made upon us, by soldiers, I 
 concluded that we needed a new supply of goods. I, therefore, placed 
 Hospital Stewart Montgomery, of the 7th Indiana, in charge and left 
 for Washington July 3, and arrived at Washington July 4. On the 5th 
 I purchased the additional supplies, also, drew eight boxes of selected 
 stores from the United States Sanitary at Washington, and returned 
 with them -safely to City Point. 
 
127 
 
 Among other contributions, I gave a box of chewing tobacco to 
 the 7th, 20th and 19th Indiana regiments, each. Also, some clothing 
 to a portion of the 3d Indiana Cavalry, who were in Gen'i Wilson's 
 grand railroad raid. I continually gave out to convalescents, (sick 
 and wounded,) in small quantities, of such stores as I had, upon per- 
 sonal application^ without reference to States, only being satisfied 
 that they were needing what they desired. I also filled a number of 
 orders from Surgeons, and from officers of difi'erent regiments. Our 
 stock having been replenished, and having opened communication 
 with the Indiana regiments at the front, I placed Chaplain Jewell, of 
 the 7th Indiana, and Mrs. New, wife of Surgeon New, of the 7th 
 Indiana, in charge of the goods at City Point, and started on my 
 return home. Chaplain Jewell and Mrs. New are on duty at the 
 Corps Hospitals at City Point, and are in a position to make our 
 Agency as effective as possible. 
 
 By the aid of the assistants whom you have lately sent to City 
 Point, I have no doubt that our Agency will accomplish all that could 
 be desired, or (at least) expected. At the present, before another 
 battle, there will be comparatively little to do for wounded^ as they 
 have been, to a great extent, removed north. 
 
 Upon reaching Washington, I found the City in a panic, and all 
 railroad communication with the West cut ofl'. I, therefore, spent one 
 day in visiting the hospitals of the city, in company with the Local 
 Assistant Agent, Mr. Lantz. I found a number of our soldiers in 
 Mount Pleasant Hospital, and a few in Carra and Columbia Hospitals. 
 
 The police arrangements, the system and the general condition of 
 these hospitals are far beyond anything I have ever seen elsewhere. 
 The wounded, in these hospitals, must be well taken care of. Mr. 
 Demotte and his assistant, Mr. Lantz, are active, live and intelligent 
 men, and, I think, will make most efficient agents. They seemed to 
 be actively and heartily engaged in their duties. 
 
 On Thursday, 14th inst., I left Washington for Baltimore— called 
 on General Wallace, who gave me a pass to Philadelphia, via Havre 
 de Grace — reached Philadelphia Thursday night, too late for the train 
 West. On Friday morning I left Philadelphia for Indianapolis, which 
 I reached Saturday evening, 16th July. 
 
 In conclusion, I desire to add that, while at City Point, I called 
 upon General Grant and his Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Raw- 
 lings, who received me most kindly, and with their own hands indorsed 
 Governor Morton's letter, and expressed their approval of the Indi- 
 
128 
 
 ana and other State Reliefs, during the progress of the campaign. 
 The good that these have already accomplished is incalculable. 
 I have the honor to be, most respectfully, 
 
 Your obediont servant, 
 
 H. B. HIBBEN. 
 
 P. S. I inclose, with this Report, my financial statement. Owing 
 to the rebel raid cutting off direct communication with the west, and 
 from other uncontrollable causes, m^^ traveling expenses are consid- 
 erable. I found Washington, and the boats running to City Point, 
 most exorbitant in their charges. I inclose receipts for all money 
 paid out, except two small amounts for which I did not take receipts, 
 as Demotte was a witness in one case, and Mrs. New in the other. 
 Ak to my railroad fare and hotel bills, these are hwiun as to rates.

 SANITARY REPORT OF EXPEDITION OF THE STEAMER 
 SUNNYSIDE— BY E. J. PUTNAM. 
 
 To William Hannaman, Indiana Sanitary Agent : 
 
 Dear, Sir: — I respectfully submit the following report of our oper- 
 ations, as Agent in charge of Sanitary steamer Sunnyside, on her trip 
 from Evansville to Natchez with Sanitary Stores, and return with sick 
 ;;.nd wounded soldiers. 
 
 We left Evensville August 16th, 1863, at noon ran down to 
 Shawnetown by dark, took on coal until ten o'clock next day, ran 
 down to Smithland by six o'clock, at the foot of the Island stuck on 
 a sandbar until ten o'clock next day, got to Cairo at four o'clock, 
 took on coal and left at midnight, ran down to Columbus and laid up 
 nmtil daylight; ran dovvn to Fort Pillow, where we landed just before 
 sundown; found the 53d Regiment in good health, supplied their 
 wants. We lay here until morning, as our Pilots were afraid to run 
 after night on account of low water. Thursday, 10 o'clock, we 
 :j,rrived at Memphis, found the 89th Regim.ent in tolerable health) 
 
129 
 
 aLout 5-6ths being fit for duty; the 25tli were in better condition, 
 being 9-lOths fit for duty — we supplied both Regiments. Left Mem- 
 phis at five in the evening, ran down forty miles, and cast anchor for 
 the night ; got to Helena 10 o'clock on Friday, found the 1st Cavalry 
 had gone up White River, left a lot of Stores in charge of their Sur- 
 geon, to be forwarded to them ; ran down to Grand Gulf, and lay until 
 day light; ran down to Goodrich's Landing, where the first Arkansas 
 (colored) Regiment were, officered by Indiana men, gave them some 
 vegetables, which they needed badly, ran down to Milligan's Bend 
 and stopped over night. Sunday morning, ran down to Vicksburg ; 
 liere we found our Agent, Mr. Kimble, who entered at once upon our 
 assistance, giving us all the aid and information in his power. A 
 great many of our Regiments had already gone down the river, and 
 others were under marching order. We supplied the loth, 59th and 
 69th Regiments, and turned over a lot of Stores to the U. S. Commis- 
 sion, with the undestanding that they were to supply those Regi- 
 ments beyond our reach. After consulting our Agent and the U. S. 
 Officials, I determined to run down to Natchez. Left at five in the 
 evening, and ran until midnight ; got to Natches at 9 o'clock on Mon- 
 day ; here we find them opening some fine buildings and arranging 
 them for Hospitals. The U. S. ^Marine Hospital especially will make 
 ;t. very choice Hospital, the location is the finest on the river ; from 
 the top of it is certainly the finest view on the river — it certainly is a 
 very healthy location. Near by we found the 5od Indiana encamped 
 on a most beautiful piece of ground, with fruit and flower garden.-^ 
 ;dl around them. Natchez is the most beautiful as w^ell as wealthiest 
 place on the river, the citizen.<3 are all at home, and they are not so 
 bitter as in other places I have visited. We turned over to the U. S. 
 Commission 12 boxes of clothing and can fruits, 15 barrels of onions, 
 •39 barrels potatoes, 4 barrels of dried peaches, 1 keg of wine, 1 box 
 lemons. Could get no sick here. Left at eight o'clock in the even- 
 ing, got back to Vicksburg at noon next day. Here we lay until 
 ^J'hursday evening, taking on about 160 sick and wounded and fur- 
 loughed men, and turned over to our State Agent, Mr. Kimble, what 
 goods we had left that we thought we could spare ; ran up to Milligan's 
 Bend and lay until morning. Here we got about forty more sick 
 men. Ran up to Nolin's Landing and took on wood ; here we buried 
 W. A. Schlatta, Comp. C, 23d Indiana. This was 12 miles above 
 Milligan,s Bend. Fridry night we lay up all night on account of fog. 
 Saturday and Sunday made slow progress ; arrived at Helena Sunday 
 evening, found the troops nearly all gone ; sent the 1st Cavalry 5 
 
130 
 
 barrels of onions ; got to Memphis Monday noon ; turned over to Dr^ 
 Jobe balance of Stores, amounting to 27 barrels and 6 boxes. Left 
 at 4 o'clock — made no history until we arrived at Cairo Wednesday 
 noon. Here about seventy furloughed men left. Left Cairo at 4 
 o'clock in the evening, ran about half the night ; after daylight we 
 struck a bar between Paduca and Smithland; after consultation, we 
 <letcrmined to return to Cairo, and bring the men home by Railroad; 
 got back to Cairo at 4 o'clock in the evening; got our goods packed 
 up and our sick men at the Depot in time for the 3 o'clock morning- 
 train ; arrived at Mattoon an hour and a half behind time — met with 
 a very kind reception — they fed our men and assisted us in every Avay 
 in their power — they have a private Hospital here supported by the 
 citizens. We left three of our worst cases, and left there at seven 
 in the evening; had rather a pleasant night's ride, and arrived at 
 Indianapolis at 5 o'clack in the morning.

 The follo^ying collections were reported in our list of receipts in 
 gross, ■vyhich should have been in detail. Not having access to the
