Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry

Tuesday, 29th—I attended a supper this evening given for the veterans of my company, at the home of Mr. J. W. Stanton on York Prairie. On account of the bad weather, dark night and muddy roads, there were not many there, but we had a fine supper and a pleasant evening with friends.
