CAIRO, Feb. 23d, 1862

C. DUNHAM – Sir:  We send you a list of the soldiers now at Mound City Hospital – Iowa troops, wounded at Fort Donelson.  Those marked * came up to Cairo on the steamer Hazel Dell, Saturday morning and leave here to-day by special train on furlough for home.  Up to this time no passes are granted up the Ohio where many of our wounded remain.  Gen. Pain, who is in command here, informed me that he had sent a man up to Paducah and Fort Donelson especially to make out a complete list of the wounded and mission which will be published soon.

Our loss in the battle is reported here as high as 500 killed and 1500 wounded and missing. – It is also reported by the wounded now here that none of Co. E, 2nd Iowa were killed but two or three slightly wounded.

The Iowa troops are covered with glory.
