To The Letter S2 E11: U.S. Sanitary Commission
Once again we’re talking about medical needs during the Civil War. This time, we investigate what the U.S. Sanitary Commission was all about.
To the Letter is a podcast brought to you in collaboration with University Libraries and the eLearning and Emerging Technologies Department’s Digital Studio at GVSU. On this podcast, we bring correspondence from GVSU’s Special Collections alive. In each episode you will hear (in their own words!) letters written by the people who lived through history and the stories behind them. John Bennitt is voiced by Matt Ruen, Scholarly Communications Outreach Coordinator at University Libraries.
Letters featured in Episode 11 are available in full below:
Letter from John Bennitt to his wife Lottie, July 30, 1864
Letter from John Bennitt to his wife Lottie, March 12, 1865
Additional research for this episode:

- Rules for preserving the health of the soldier
