John Lind's Commission.
There was considerable talk occasion

John Lind as quartermaster Of the
Second regiment, and the governor

The physicians of st. Paul feel very
bitter towards Gov. Clough for his APP
parent ignoring Of their tenders Of
service.
A great many st. Paul physicians Of
recognized standing offered themselves
as volunteers, but they were not rec
ognlZed by the governor, who, instead.

The local physicians and surgeons
