Capt. Foster . . .

. . . of the 11th regiment, called upon us yesterday.  He left his regiment on a short furlough last week, and arrived at his home in Leclaire last Friday.  Charlie looks finely and is in good health.  The 11th is still in central Missouri, but will probably be in Tennessee before many weeks.  Capt. Foster will leave for Missouri next Monday.  Any recruits, desiring to join either the 6th, 8th, 11th, or 13th regiment, will have an opportunity to go with the Captain.  Letters or packages for either of these regiments may be left at this office, and the Captain will see that they reach their destination.
