Veteran Returned Home Improved in Health
 James Cassidy, a well known old veteran of the Civil War, who had been absent at Monterey for 
several weeks, arrived home last evening much improved in health.  Mr. Cassady was treated at 
the post hospital, Presidio of Monterey, for muscular rheumatism.  He states that medical attention 
and medicines were furnished him without cost, but he was required to pay for his rations at the 
rate of 40 cents per day.  Mr. Cassidy was formerly an inmate of the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle.
