On the arrival of the first Regiment going to Washington, in April 1861, the Citizens in the neighborhood contributed Coffee and Sandwiches, which were distributed to the Soldiers, from small tables, hastily erected on the sidewalk, corner of Washington and Swanson Streets,...This Institution is supported entirely by voluntary contributions, and has done much to entitle Philadelphia to her beautiful name 'The City of Brotherly Love.'"
