No full textOctober 7, 1863Baugher, Henry L.;In this one-page endorsement dated October 7, 1863, Dr. Henry Janes confirms that the College Edifice was used as a Confederate hospital during and after the battle but states that he has no direct knowledge of the amount of damage as it was mostly done before he became in charge of hospitals in the area.1p.Henry Janes, a U.S. volunteer surgeon who had served in the 3rd Vermont Infantry, was placed in command of all field hospitals around Gettysburg by Jonathan Letterman, medical director of the Army of the Potomac. Before he left with the army on July 6, Dr. Letterman ordered 106 surgeons to remain behind with the 20, 000 Union and Confederate wounded. Many of the wounded were soon moved to other hospitals or discharged from the service. Those who remained were collected into a tent hospital, known as Camp Letterman, located just east of the town along the York Road. Dr. Henry Janes was the medical director of that facility, and it was through him that claims for damages at all field hospitals in the Gettysburg area were forwarded to the Office of the Surgeon-General
