Item description from seller

Folio printed sheet, 19 by 24 inches in size, folded to make 8 pages. An issue of this rare newspaper which acted as an organ of the U.S. Sanitary Commission during the Civil War. The USSC (1861-78) was a civilian organization authorized by the US Government to provide medical and sanitary assistance to the Union volunteer forces during the Civil War. This newspaper was issued as "The Sanitary Bulletin" in the East and "The Sanitary Reporter" in the West and was vitally important in keeping the public aware of the Sanitary Commission's work. This issue, issued from Louisville, Kentucky, has articles on malaria and scurvy in the camps, conditions at Murfreesboro, relief for the wounded at Vicksburg, news from Nashville, a copy of General Grant's orders for a supply steamer, and much more. This is a good copy with some light soiling and wear and a few small chips and tears along the edges. The newspaper has some punch holes at the left side where it was probably bound into a folder at one time. These punch holes have gone through to the other pages in the margins, affecting some of the wording on pages 15 and 16. Scarce.…
