This report by Knapp details the Commission's efforts to provide 'special relief' to Union soldiers in the Washington D.C. area. Key focus areas include:
• Expansion of care, as existing regiments become more aware of the Commission's work & support.
• The efforts specifically target those discharged in need of care, and travelling through the DC area before proceeding home.
• The need of additional resources, facilities & staff, to meet the needs of the increasing influx of soldiers.
