"Treatment of the wounded at Gettysburg after the battle was left up to the mercy of the Army of the Potomac. The army's Assistant Adjutant General, Seth Williams, issued orders on July 5, 1863, to establish a general hospital in the Gettysburg area, and to provide transportation and supplies to the site for treatment of the wounded. The temporary hospital was named after Dr. Jonathan Letterman, Medical Director for the Army of the Potomac, and was located on the George Wolf Farm, roughly one and one-half mile east of Gettysburg on the York Pike."
