Aid for convalescents at Jefferson Barracks
A December 1864 letter from Marshall urges Marshall and Virginia readers to donate nourishing dinners for convalescent soldiers at Jefferson Barracks Missouri. It asks citizens to pack boxes with poultry, fruit, cranberries, apples and other goods, addressed to Mrs. Mary A. Wells Sanitary Commission Rooms for the Convalescents. The appeal notes many patients are unable to eat full diets and highlights the need to support those recovering from wounds and sickness.

Savannah Savannah Port Royal expedition bridge destruction
A late 19th century report describes a naval expedition under Admiral Dahlgren and Gen. Foster from Beaufort up Broad River toward the Pocotaligo Bridge on the Charleston Savannah railroad. The Donegal and seven gunboats participated, reaching a position where Pocotaligo Bridge was destroyed and troops readied for future operations. The Donegal then returned to Port Royal, while Sherman’s march toward Savannah loomed. The piece also promotes M. Mason & Haulin organ products, praising tone and quality for churches and halls despite a cabinet organ scarcity narrative.
