The cover of the Bible reads: “Presented to Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by the Ladies of the Citizens Volunteer Hospital of Philadelphia.”

Here is a collection of wonderful drawings of the various facilities of that hospital, which was located at Broad St. and Washington Avenue:

Here is just one of the more than a dozen pictures at the link:

Interesting! Broad and Washington is the site of current day "Lincoln Square", named after the old railroad shed where Lincoln's body laid in rest after his assassination.

Just walked through there today.
