Rhonda,

The surviving records of Confederate hospitals are few and far between. The first location you should check is the soldier's Compiled Military Service Record (CMSR). The "cards" (with the exception of original records in the record) refers to an another original record that his name appears on. So, therefore, if Private Johnny Reb's name appears on a "card" then look down at the bottom it should give some numbers (usually Chapter, volume, page number) that point to where his name was taken from.

Some records have survived outside the National Archives. Many of the Army of Tennessee's medical administration records that did survive were thanks to the efforts of Surgeon Samuel H. Stout. A very good book on the subject is "Confederate Hospitals on the Move : Samuel H. Stout and the Army of Tennessee" by Glenna R. Schroeder-Lein, published 1994. One of Stout's daughters sold portions of the records to various collectors and archives over the years and they are pretty dispersed. The book referenced above gives several locations of his records in the bibliography.

Stuart's Division Hospital should likely be Stewart's Division Hospital (Alexander P. Stewart, Commanding). Contact the Kennesaw National Military Park and they may have in the there files the location because some of the division hospitals were located in existing buildings in Marrietta.

I hope this helps.
