Minnesota Soldiers Sick at Sc. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, May 10. 1862.
HIS Erceliency. Alerand.r Ramsey:
DEAR SIR l send you herewith list of
the sick soldiers from Minnesota now 10 this
city. 1t may not be perfect. Ipresume it
is not. There is no record kept by States,
and it is difficult to fiud soldier from any
State unless bis name is known. An agent
of the State can do nothing but cheer the
sick soldiers. States are cot permitted to
interfere in any way with the regulations of
the War Department, nor is it necessary
tha5 they should. The regulations of the
Department are as near perfect as possible
The soldiers will be treated kindly and
justly. The hospitals are crowded, and DO
friend at home more anxiously desires to
see the sick removed from the wards than
do the surgeons in attendance.
They have assured me that they would
furlough and discharge the men as 5000 as
possible, and when this is done there will
be no trouble in sending them home.
You will see that many of the sick have
just come down, and have never seen any
service. DR.. Dyre said be would see that
they received Government passes to their
respective homes when necessary.
l believe that general agent of the
State can do an immense amount of good
in visiting the hospitals, encouraging the
sick, bearing the assurance of the good will
of the State, and advising with the Sur
geons as to the best way to dispose of them
for their benefit.
My heart has been deeply affected at the
gladness with which the sick soldiers have
greeted me, and the thanks they have rem
dered to the State, for sending some one to
see them.
I am preparing to leave to-day with
Hotchki=s' Battery, for Corinth.
Yours very truly,
B. F. CRARY.
