A large number of the boys are going home on furloughs.
Their papers came in from the front today, signed up, and the boys are to start
home tomorrow. Thomas R. McConnoll and John Zitler of our company are among
them. I am sending $25.00 home to father by John Zitler. That makes a total of
$445.40 which I have sent home. A. G. Downing, Company E, Eleventh Iowa,
Veteran Volunteers.
