Jane Stuart Woolsey letter to Abby Hopper Gibbons
Jane Stuart Woolsey was an influential figure in relief work and nursing as well as a teacher of freedmen. Requests a personal interview with Gibbons to learn the details about the hospital positions that she and her sister Georgeanna Muirson Woolsey Bacon are willing to take over. Her sister and mother just arrived back from Gettysburg. Expresses sympathy over the destruction of Gibbons's home in the New York draft riots, which has led Gibbons and her daughter Sally to require replacements for their positions in the army hospital at Point Lookout, Maryland.
