Comrade John Campbell, Co. G., 5Oth
n. \. Eng, Dysart, Iowa, has no patience
or for more pension; thinks the Govern
ment has been liberal to the soldiers, ex-
cept that the McCmber law is unjust TO
those under G2 years of age; but to the
widows he thinks the laws very unjust,
deeming restrictions as to date of mar
riage and the discrimination between those
paid $S and those paid S12 without rea-
son. All ought to be treated alike. The
AlcCnmber law does not benefit him per-
sonally, as he was receiving S12 before.
He wants to hear from old comrades.

Tex, writes: Il served in Co. d, 115th

narrow escapes: lead was flying around
me; but soldier gets hardened, to that"

saber and accouterments and he leaned on
me and hobbled along, and by short rests
got him to the ambulances. He offered
me a So bill, but / told him I was not
made that way; never would take money
for helping a comrade. He gave me his
name and address. l have forgotten the
name, but his residence was GAINESVILLE,
Ohio. Will some one who was there and
knew the Captain write to me, as would
