the rainy season in a tropical climate,
after they were entitled to their disch arge
under the terms of the act of congress
which authorized their enlistment, and
their consequent service in two wars, by

these sons of Iowa to their homes at the

Lest this may seem to show partia fty
for one regiment when all are equa ly

and Fifty-second regiments, while In
camp at Des Moines, shortly before their
discharge, were granted furlough, and
the men were issued transportation to
their homes and return at the expense
Of the state, and after muster-out trans
