who were suffering from stomach troubles, dysentery and kindred
digestive disorders, and to care for the convalescents from typhoid
fever and other serious sickness, until they were sufficiently recovered
to be again returned to the company mess.

As this kitchen was performing an important part in the care of the men,
and the demands upon it were daily increasing, it was proposed that it
be continued, and its work extended as the demands increased, and that
the Red Cross would pay all expenses and furnish all the supplies
required. Rev. Orville J. Nave was accordingly appointed as the field
agent at Fort McPherson, the kitchen remaining under the immediate care
and supervision of Mrs. Nave and her daughter, assisted by a committee
of representative women of the city of Atlanta, including Mrs. Governor
Atkinson, Miss Mary L. Gordon-Huntley, Mrs. Loulie M. Gordon, Miss Junia
McKinley, Mrs. E.H. Barnes, and others.

Under the auspices of the Red Cross the capacity of the kitchen was soon
doubled, and the table was maintained until the first of October, when
assistance was no longer necessary. At the table about 20,000 meals were
served. By this means doubtless many lives were saved, for the
percentage of relapses among the typhoid fever cases, ordinarily quite
large, was very small at this post. In addition to the supplies of food,
medicines and clothing sent to this field, in response to the
requisitions, some $1400 in cash were expended in support of the table
and in furnishing those things which were at times needed quickly, and
which could be purchased in the local markets at Atlanta.

A stenographer was also furnished, so that Dr. Nave might be able to
answer the many inquiries from parents and relatives of men in the
hospitals, and attend to the ordinary correspondence connected with the
work. Seven nurses were supplied to assist in the hospital work. Dr.
Nave in his report says:

  The importance of this work, as a supplement to that done by the
  government for the relief of the sick, cannot be overstated. An
  institution, such as an army hospital, deals with the sick by
  masses. Much must be left to subordinates, many of whom
who were suffering from stomach troubles, dysentery and kindred 
 digestive disorders, and to worry for the convalescent from typhoid 
 fever and other serious illness, until they were sufficiently recuperate 
 to be again returned to the company batch. 

 As this kitchen was do an important region in the care of the men, 
 and the demand upon it were daily increasing, it was aim that it 
 be continued, and its work extended as the demands increased, and that 
 the Red Cross would pay all expense and furnish all the supplies 
 required. Rev. Orville J. Nave was consequently appointed as the field 
 agentive role at Fort McPherson, the kitchen remaining under the contiguous care

 Under the auspices of the Red Cross the capacity of the kitchen was soon

 served. By this means doubtless many lives were saved, for the 
 percentage of relapses among the typhoid fever cases, ordinarily quite 
 large, was very minor at this post. In addition to the provision of food, 
 medicines and clothing sent to this field, in response to the 
 sequestration, some $ 1400 in cash were expended in support of the table

 which could be purchased in the local markets at Atlanta.
