VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL CIVIL WAR ILLUSTRATED COVER SHOWING THE UNION VOLUNTEER REFRESHMENT SALOON AND HOSPITAL IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Union Volunteer and Refreshment Saloon was a privately funded way station, where troops traveling to and from the war could find a home cooked meal, a place to rest and wash up, and could write a letter -- tables were provided with writing materials and letters were sent without charge. The hospital provided care primarily for the wounded and sick who were on their way back to their families.
