EDITOR GAZETTE – Dear Sir: I see by your paper that Dr. C. H. Rawson has resigned his commission in the army.
This is an error. I had a letter from him yesterday, near
Corinth. He has resigned his post as
Surgeon of the Iowa 5th, having received the appointment of Brigade Surgeon,
and is acting as such to Gen. Hamilton’s Brigade. He will not
resign while the war lasts.
Respct. yours,
A. J. RAWSON
