The first, and in some respects the most important work was the delivery
of a daily supply of water for the troops. Ten thousand gallons of
hygeia water were delivered to the government, and four tank cars were
brought daily from Jamaica with fresh spring water. This work ceased
when the great well was finished. To the general hospital such supplies
were furnished as were rendered necessary by the confusion and hurry of
the first weeks, indeed a large part of the articles necessary for a
hospital were placed in the wards a few hours after the need was
discovered.

We supplied but few delicacies to the hospital after it was in running
order. Oranges and lemons, were, however, supplied at the rate of 1000 a
day, and 200 gallons of milk were furnished, until, by order of
Secretary Alger, the government furnished 2000 gallons of milk a day to
the hospitals and troops. The detention hospital we also kept abundantly
supplied with delicacies, and often with necessities.

The regimental hospitals were found to be in great need of equipment and
food suitable for the sick, and to this part of the work Dr. Geo. E.
Brewer and Mr. Samuel Parrish devoted themselves, making daily visits to
the regiments, and assisting the regimental surgeons in their
discouraging work.

Auxiliary No. 3 sent a dietary expert, Mrs. Willard, to the camp to
establish diet kitchens, and with the aid of Mr. Prescott, of the
Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Society they were established in connection
with the various hospitals, and such satisfactory results were worked
out that the government agreed to pay all the expenses.

The feeding of all the sick and half-starved men who arrived from Cuba
on the transports was undertaken by Dr. and Mrs. Valentine Mott, while
Dr. Magruder, chief quarantine officer, exerted himself admirably in Red
Cross work, carrying continually stores of Red Cross delicacies to those
ships which were in quarantine and suffering for lack of food.
