CAMP WARREN. july 90, 1861


FRIEND MAuIN The Governor was here
on Friday, and the three regiments were ou
on dress parade. They made a splendid ap
pearance The Governor appeared well pleased
and remarked that they were fine, stou
looking set of fellows. He did not make 4
speech. We have had dress parade every
night since There was pleasure excursion
up yesterday Sunday on the steamer Pom
croy, front Fort Madison. Our friends in
Muscatinc who wish to make a trip down tc
Camp Warren, would do well 10 come down
on the steamer Pomeroy. They will find in the
office the gentlemanly and accommodating
clerk, Charley, who tries to make it pleasant
and agreeable to all that travel on the boat.
The boys here are generally very well sat
isfied. There is no sickness among them of
consequence We received last Friday 5
boxes of quilts and comforts from the citizens
of Muscatine, amounting to about 80 in all,
which made all of boys feel glad.
1t is reported that the guns have arrived
Tor the three regiments. Our boys are AFRAID
that we will not get rifles, and will have to
take muskets Some of them swear they will
never carry musket, but think the lines
are too taut on us now, and we will have to
take such as are sent US.
The average weight Of our company lex
cept few whose weight could not get is
lat pounds. Respecting size and age there is
more uniformity in our company than any
other have noticed in the regiment.

given, will prove acceptable and useful We
have long admired the searching and able
manner in which DIR. AVER treats every sub
ject he touches whatever has his attention
at all, has great deal of it he masters what
he undertakes, and no one who h is a particle
of feeling for his afflicted fellow man, can
look with indifference upon his labors for the

us more than we all have known of this insid-.
