From the TN State Library & Archives Introduction:

In 1890, the Tennessee Confederate Soldiers’ Home opened on the grounds of the Hermitage Plantation, former residence of Andrew Jackson. The Soldiers’ Home provided care and housing for aging Confederate veterans who resided in Tennessee. Prior to admission into the facility, these veterans submitted applications to a review board. The applications contain questions designed to determine the applicants need and legitimacy for state funded care. In some cases, no application is available, but names and details are listed in one of two ledgers kept by the home. These records are now indexed and available (as Record Group 2) at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
