Miss Charlotte Bradford of Duxbury, Mass., daughter of Hon. Gamaliel Bradford, began her relief work in the very hardest department. She was assigned to the hospital transport service.

in June, 1862, it steamed to Boston with its sorrowful freight of sick and wounded men. The poor fellows were tenderly transferred to hospitals in the vicinity, the storehouse of the Boston commission was drawn upon freely for whatever was necessary to their comfort and well-being, and over $1,600 were spent in the purchase of hospital delicacies. Then the commission again refitted the steamer, shipped on board a complete assortment of supplies and despatched it on its return errand to White House, Va., where another congregation of sufferers was awaiting its arrival. In this relief work, which was repeated again and again, the women of the commission received the hearty and prompt co-operation of men. The outline of one year's work of the New England society and the Boston branch commission indicates the service rendered by these organizations throughout the war. The receipts of the year 1863 were $67,877.72; there were spent for materials for hospital clothing $26,761.69. The ar

d given her life desired that her mortal body should rest among the remains of their comrades. Miss Louisa M. Alcott, known to all young readers by the books that she wrote for them, worked in the hospitals until she broke down with hospital fever, from the effects of which she never wholly recovered. Her first successful literary effort was the story of her hospital work, published under the title Hospital Sketches. Another well-known author, Mrs. Helen Hunt (H. H.), a native of Amherst, Mass., performed similar service in a hospital in Rhode Island. Mrs. Rebecca R. Pomroy of Chelsea, Mass., was another of the heroic women who gave themselves to hospital work. Bereft by death of her husband and a son and daughter, almost at one stroke, she sought comfort in ministering to those who were more heavily weighted with sorrow and suffering than herself. She offered her services as a nurse to Miss Dix, was accepted, and installed in the Georgetown, D. C., hospital. She proved h

Then the soldiers were abundantly fed, their knapsacks were packed with food and their canteens filled with milk, tea or coffee; when, refreshed and cheered, they continued their journey.

dgments of Governor Andrew, the President of the Massachusetts Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while resolutions of thanks were passed by the Legislature and sent her, beautifully engrossed upon parchment and sealed with the seal of the Commonwealth. The Surgeon-General of the United States now urged upon her the superintendence of the Camden Street Hospital in Baltimore, and after a year of service here he removed her to a large and newly established hospital in Chester, Penn., where were a thousand sick and wounded men. After a year at Chester she was transferred to the Naval School Hospital at Annapolis, filled with poor wrecks of humanity from the prison pens of Andersonville and Belle Isle. Mrs. Tyler found in this hospital such an assemblage of incarnate misery as no language can describe. Filth, disease, starvation and cruelty had wrought a ruinous work upon these hapless men. They were emaciated till only the parchment-like skin covered the protrudi

nces and store wagons loaded with anesthetics, surgical instruments, nourishment, tonics, stimulants and every species of relief. Two large central offices of the commission, with depots of supplies, were located at Washington, D. C., and Louisville, Ky., through which gateways supplies of all kinds went to the army. Ten branch commissions were established at ten cities of the North, all of them subordinate and tributary to the central offices, and all managed by women,—one of them being loen they held appointments from Miss Dix. But as the enlarged operations of the army in the west and south-west and the south greatly increased the demand for women nurses, other superintendents of nurses were appointed at St. Louis, Chicago and Louisville, who detailed them from their own sections of country, accompanied them to the field and located them where they were needed. Miss Dix put her whole soul into the work. She rented several large houses as depots for the sanitary supplies sen
