tor. BY regiment and battalion Of the Missouri army

prcss glorious Missouri army the last from ~hom
such eoutr baica would have been expected. The eI.
rsOrdnsry hardships through which they have passed
5sir lie, zion hon home and friends and property, and
heir own pressing necessities might well be supposed
20 have clipped the srgs Of their sympaIhy Tor othes,

L certainly not to be expected that their charity
