Report of the Surgeon General to the North Carolina General Assembly on the establishment of a general hospital. The report consists of a letter of transmittal from Henry T. Clark, Executive Department, to the General Assembly, and dated August 29th, 1861; and a report from Charles E. Johnson, Surgeon General N.C. Johnson reports on the condition of soldiers in Yorktown; he found extremely unsanitary conditions, along with numerous illness and conditions, with insufficient medications to treat same. Johnson also recommends, "the permanent appointment of a second assistant Surgeon to each of our Regiments, to be paid by the State, as the Confederate authorities do not recognize but two, which is not sufficient. These appointments ought to be permanent to the volunteer regiments, and extended for a while to the regulars, certainly until it shall be determined that they are not needed."
