{"value"=>"<p>The bulk of Department of North Carolina volumes record supplies issued, primarily in the New Bern area, to general, regimental, and other hospitals and to individual soldiers, sailors, and civilians in need. Entries generally include date, recipient, and quantities and type of stock issued. Most supply record books contain a few scattered instances of supplies received. Entries are usually in chronological order. Many supply entries contain issue or requisition numbers that do not appear to connect to other material in the collection. Also present are mixed-use volumes containing journals and supplies issued, as well as one journal, in the hand of Dr. J.W. Page. Volumes are arranged chronologically by first date.</p> <p>Supply records also contain tabulated statements of issues and a few miscellaneous items concerning supplies that were loose and unnumbered in the record group.</p>"}
