Item description from seller

Washington, D.C.: Central Office U.S. Sanitary Commission, Jan. 1, 1864., 1864. Fair. - Octavo, 9 inches high by 5-5/8 inches wide. Softcover, bound in printed self-wraps. 7 & [1] pages, including the covers. Folded in half vertically, the front cover page is soiled & darkened with ink stains to the bottom front corner. The top corners of several pages are chipped and there is a tiny tear to the front edges of the pages. Good. When wounded men, those temporarily displaced from their units or honorably discharged during the Civil War were left to find their way home, they frequently choked up Union supply bases. Many were starving, neglected and destitute, without the means to return to their unit or get home. The United States Sanitary Commission led by Frederick Newman Knapp, depended on donors to finance their effort to help thousands of displaced, wounded or sick Union soldiers. Knapp's heroic behind-the-scenes efforts included setting up supply chains, soldiers' relief stations, transportation and the distribution of food and goods. The pamphlet outlines an account of the commission's expenditures, details of its efficiency including rigorous inspections, camp protocols and the distribution of supplies, and concludes with an appeal for funds from donors, highlighting the conditions and urgent need on the battlefield.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
