Celebration at the Frederick Hospital
Summary
"Medicus" writes letter to the Examiner about celebrations at U. S. Army General Hospital in Frederick upon receiving news that the Confederate Army has officially surrendered. Band played, hospital choir sang, addresses by Mr. Whitehill, Chaplain Crever and Rev. Hicks lasting until 10 p.m. In his address, Chaplain Crever said, "It has cost us much, but we have shown to the world that we are a mighty people." He apparently was the most eloquent of the speakers, but Rev. Hicks spoke for one hour and was repeatedly cheered.
