-The Primary Text from page says: "Brooklyn Fair In Aid of the Sanitary Commission" -
Some Background: The United States Sanitary Commission (USSC) was a private relief agency created by federal legislation on June 18, 1861, to support sick and wounded soldiers of the U.S. Army during the American Civil War.It operated across the North, raised an estimated $25 million in Civil War era revenue (assuming 1865 dollars, $386.47 million in 2016) and in-kind contributions to support the cause, and enlisted thousands of volunteers. The president was Henry Whitney Bellows, and Frederick Law Olmsted acted as executive secretary. It was modeled on the British Sanitary Commission, set up during the Crimean War, and from the British parliamentary report published after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
