Senator and nurse scene amid Memphis details mixed with ad copy
Fragmented OCR text recounts a Civil War era senator from the Confederacy visiting Memphis and a nurse tending a wounded Union officer on a ship. The piece intertwines anecdotes of the senator, a 2 year old white girl with lemonade, and a humorous quip about a corroding tea cup. It also contains garbled promotional lines for health products and facial tonics.
