Logan on an upper balcony of the Captain's Quarters

Laundry room. Although most laundry was done by laundresses across the river and they lived in tents. They made $1 per soldier and had about 25 soldiers that they cleaned clothes for. The soldiers made about $11/mo. The laundresses made more money than the soldiers. Many married the soldiers but kept their old jobs because they made more than their husbands.
