The Iowa Army Sanitary Commission

Mr. Editor:– Since the battle of Pittsburg Landing, the Iowa Army Sanitary Commission have forwarded to Cairo about thirty boxes of hospital supplies and a few to other points. A dispatch received this morning gives information that two hundred of our wounded soldiers are on their way to Keokuk; and by request we sent immediately twelve boxes of sanitary goods to aid in the supplying the hospital at that place. This makes about fifty boxes which we have been able to forward since that battle, by the liberality and activity of the local Aid Societies that co-operate with the State Commission.
