Hon. Henry A. SsOits, Goo. Of Ainnesota: ae
DEAR SIR: send you herewith state
ment of the condition of the sick and
wounded at Keokuk. They all seemed
very glad to see me, but did not find
single case OF distress that needed inter-
position. Nearly all are cheerful and anx-
ious to go on duty as soon as possible.
DR.. Taylor, who is in charge Of the hos
pitfalls says he will furlough, after this, ten
per cent. a month Of all his patients, five
per cent. at time for fifteen days. He
will soon begin to examine men for the
invalid corps. .t'a~ l''
One of the most common causes of dis
tress and dissatisfaction among our sick
and wounded, is the neglect of their Of
ficers to furnish their respective lists; and
the consequent want and difficulty that
follows This is grave and cruel fault,
and company officers should be taught
that this error is most grievous one. l
exceedingly regret that I could not spend
more time with our noble men, they SEEM
ed 80 glad to see any one looking after
their interests. AS soon as they learned
I was in the city, they came to see me,
told me of their companions, and assisted
me in hunting up all who were there. I
failed to see two of our men who were
convalescent, and who were not at their
rooms.
A few OF our men have been sent to
Iowa City and Burlington, and I cannot
see any good reason why we should not
have Hospital at Winona or at st. Paul,
and have many of our sick sent there.
am very truly, your ob't: serv't:
