            Prof. Sterling:--Dear Sir. I acknowledge with pride and gratification, the receipt of most valuable and necessary articles for the use of the wounded soldiers of North Carolina, presented through you by the patriotic and humane ladies of Greensboro.  I also acknowledge the receipt of $50 from the same source.

            In return I can only promise that this munificent gift shall be faithfully applied to the purpose for which it is designed, and the heartfelt gratitude of the unfortunate recipients of your bounty.

            Since the recent engagements in the vicinity of Richmond, this Hospital has received 300 wounded and sick soldiers of our State; they continue to arrive daily, and will need the continued assistance of our citizens.  With high respect, your obedient servant,

O. F. MANSON,

Surgeon in charge.
