post, who assigned me to assist DR.. McGogin q
the Fourth Street Hospital. however fount
time to visit the other principal hospitals in tn.
city, and make out list of the sick and wound
ed Iowa soldiers that found there There ar.
one or two other places for the reception Of th,
sick there, but l was told there were only few
old chronic cases in them, and my time did moi
allow me to see them. The lists send you con
tain the names of nearly all the sick and all the
wounded at st. Louis belonging to Iowa resi
ments. The day before yesterday was ordered
| to proceed on board the above steamer to assist
| in taking charge of the wounded, &C., who were
sent Up to the hospital now established at this
point, where We have just arrived The estes
House" is engaged as hospital to which place
they are now conveying the poor fellows as fast
as possible. We had about 800 on board for
this place, who will be under the charge of DR..
Hughes, assisted by pr. Hamine, of Mt Pleas
ant, and myself. need not consume your time
or my own in talking about the nature of the
cases, for they are of course of all kinds; neth-
er need enter upon detail of the casualties,
&c, that have occurred among our State troops,
shat have CLEANED by conversing with the men,
as doubt not you have heard of them from
other and more reliable sources. will, howev
er, mention one rather touching incident that
happened few days ago on board this boat.
young woman from St. Louis had accompa
MED her husband, soldier, to the scene of &C.
ton. Upon the sudden assault on our lines he
rushed out of his tent to join his regiment, leav-
ing his young wife in the tent. The poor fel-
low fell, killed early in the action and bullet
passed through the tent slightly wounding his
wife in the breast She did not, however, know
OF the fate OF her husband when she came on
board the boat, but expected to meet him at
st. Louis. Two days ago she was indiscreetly
told of his death, when the shock to her feel
ings occasioned the rather premature birth of
her first child, who, with the mother, am hap.
py to say is doing we'll. Poor thing, God help
them!
ought to apologize for my scraws, but as
part OF the list was copied off on board while
under way, and tts is written in great haste and
with shocking pen you must excuse
Yours truly, PHILIP HARVEY.
