We understand that Mrs. Wittenmyer
intends to resign her position as State Sani-
tary Agent, IN order to devote herself exclu.
s'vely to the duties Of the Agency of the
United States Christian Commission. As
Mrs. W. has thoroughly vindicated herselfbe.
fore the Legislature and the public. and
received the appointment Of State Agent for
two years, she can retire with honor from
the service o. the State, and enter upon the
broader field of usefulness rendered her by
the United States Christian Commission.
The gratitude of The State is due her for
the efficiency with which she discharged her
duties in its service, and the kind regards
and good wishes of the soldiers and people OF
Iowa will cheer her in her new mission in
behalf of the soldiers of the Union.
