Per the following, where might one find information on this hospital? I have info that after Gettysburg, a number of soldiers from the 1st Louisiana Brigade were sent here to recuperate. These tended to be the more seriously wounded, most having some type of amputation.

Port Hudson, La., January 12, 1863.
....... I have concluded to establish a general hospital at Woodville, if it meets the general's approbation, on account of the difficulty of transportation to Magnolia. No wagons can be had in the country. I can have river transportation to Bayou Sara and thence by a good railroad to Woodville.
The work at this post is progressing well. Nothing else to report.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
FRANK. GARDNER,
Major-General, Commanding.
