N We were shown a letter, by friend, from
Camp Centre, mouth Of Pawnee river, dated June
18th. The writer says everybody out there ex-
cept himself has the s'ague and fever, bilious
fever, diarrhoa, or some other agreeable COM
plant. The following is his description Of the
road from Fort Leavenworth to that post:
sit is unnecessary to enter into detailed de-
scriptiOn of the route we travelled in coming to
this post. Suffice it to say that it was the rough
est and most dsagreeable one that ever was ira
yelled by white man or niger since the days of
Moses. 1t was an incessant crossing of creeks,
sloughs, quagmires, swampy bottoms and rocky
holl0ws, the entire route. 1t will cost Govern
ment more than the new post to make that road
practicable for general travel. $50.
Building operations were commenced here i'm
mediately after our arrival. One set of quarters
are about half up, and it is contemplated to COM
mence the others in about week. Two sets will
be completed this fall in which all the companies
at present here will pass the winter, and not GO
back to Leavenworth, as was apprehended they
would be compelled to do. The quarters are very
capacious, being calculated to accommodate egh-
ty-eight men, exclusive of the married portion.
