Soldiers Relief Convention

DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 20th, 1862.

Editor of Burlington Hawk-Eye:

DEAR SIR:  Please call editorial attention to the Soldiers Relief Convention to meet in this city on the 28th inst., at 10 o’clock A. M., and urge that gentlemen interested in your part of the State attend, – that the various counties be represented.

Those passing over the B. & M. R R. R. will pay full fare coming and return free on certificate from me.  The steamers Kate Cassell and Jennie Whipple will also pass those attending at half fare.  I presume Northern Line boats will do the same.

We should be very happy to have you present with us.

Yours truly,

A. J. RYNETT,
Cor. Sec. and Agent Iowa Army San. Com.
