Summarily Dismissed

Summary

A female nurse, originally believed to be from NY, working at the U.S. General Hospital in Frederick was dismissed for her use of insulting and obnoxious language to both officers and inmates and for expressing her pleasure in the death of Lincoln. She was reported to the surgeon in charge of the hospital who gave her one hour to "decamp." She has not been seen since. No name given.
