Camp McClellan

The steward of the hospital at Camp McClellan begs leave, in behalf of the soldiers now sick at that place, to thank the citizens of Davenport and vicinity for their prompt assistance in furnishing cloths for bandages, plasters, &c., of which we have abundant supply.  There are now 19 on the sick list, 6 of whom belong to the 16^th regiment.  During the past week three deaths have occurred, Dennis Sullivan, of Herkimer county, N. Y.; John Johnson, residents unknown; and Ozias M. Davis, of Strawberry Point, Clayton county, Iowa, all of whom belonged to the 16^th regiment.  The sanitary condition of the hospital has much improved since it passed into the hands of Lieut. Cowles.

JOHN H. FULLER, Steward.
