ROWAN WAY-SIDE HOSPITAL.
SALISBURY, N.C.
THIS HOSPITAL has been established one month, and during that period it has given accommodations to one hundred and thirty-four soldiers. Of this number 87 were wounded and 47 sick.
This Hospital was established, and has been kept in operation, mainly, by the liberality of the citizens of Salisbury, for the comfort and accommodation of sick and wounded soldiers from different parts of our State.

For this purpose we have taken the liberty of appointing you an agent in your County to raise and forward to the Chairman, Major JAMES C. SMYTH, any money or provisions which may be contributed by

JAS. C. SMYTH, CHAIRMAN
