http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647834959

Official papers re Hunter's duties as a Confederate surgeon, 1861-1865, comprise the bulk of the collection and consist of requisitions and receipts for supplies, lists of patients, orders, commissions, communiques with the Surgeon-General's Office, and memoranda. There is also correspondence, both military and personal, between Hunter and various officers and friends. Topics of interest include Hunter's action at 1st Bull Run, a dispute with Surgeon-General S.P. Moore over the number of soldiers discharged for disability, and his capture and parole by General George Stoneman in Bristol, Tennessee. Of note is an 1864 memorandum from Jefferson Davis to General Samuel Cooper re the promotion of officers. The few pre- and post-war items are chiefly financial in nature.
