Hargrove, recruiting in Granville County, North Carolina, writes to a fellow infantryman regarding recruiting and "family" (possibly military company) affairs. Letter was initially sent in a letter to George Wortham, GLC02233.05, for forwarding to Rowland. Also encloses a copy of a circular (no longer present), which has left an ink burn on the verso reading "To Arms! To Arms! Our Fatherland is in Danger."
Alexander W. Rowland was a corporal in Company D of the Twelfth North Carolina Infantry.
