The information which we derived from a private letter and published Thursday [sic], announcing the death of Major Andrews, appears to have been incorrect. The gallant Major passed through town on the western train on Thursday. He is badly wounded, and has a ball in the right side of his head. He is carried on a couch being unable to move about, but is hoped he will recover.

Note: The article erroneously reporting the death of Major Andrews was published under the headline “8th Iowa Regiment,” and extracted a letter written by Orville Fluke of the 8th Iowa Infantry to his father T. K. Fluke. It was published in The Davenport Daily Gazette, Friday, April 18, 1862 and not Thursday the 17th.
