ED. GAZETTE – Dear Sir: May God spare me such a sight as I have just seen for a day. 350 wounded men just up from St. Louis. The building is good, attention all that could be asked on the part of soldiers and citizens. To-day four were buried and several more must die. Adj. Gen. Baker is here – very active and efficient, as well as Surgeon Hughes. I send the names of those men where your paper reaches, who are ready to go home. They may get off to-morrow. I think they will recover, yet many wounds are frightful. I have on my list from Iowa that can go home, from other parts of the State.
John Carleton, 11th regt. From Washington.
Jacob Brown, 15th regiment from Cedar Rapids.
Jacob Harr, 8th regt., from Marengo.
Rudolph Murry, 8th regt., from Marshalltown.
Jacob F. Boyer, 8th regt., from Washington.
M. McWhinney, 8th regt., from Washington.
Lt. E. B. Plumb, 8th regt., from Washington.
Jacob Walker, 8th regt., from Muscatine.
Amos Merrit, 8th regt., from Iowa Co.
L.M. Blakely, 8th regt, from Benton Co.
J. S. McCulloch, 8th regt. From Davenport.
In haste, yours,
J. B. GRINNELL
