FRIEND EcKRL;
A sylvan retreat we find Is
far preferable to 4 precipitate one from
an enemy's lines; there is more poetry
aboui tile former and less fatigue. We
are now in the enjoyment of such retreat
with its accompanying ease and freedom
from the seorching effects ofold Soils rays
Our Brigade has settled itself down in II
pine wood, not very far remote from the
site Of our former camps, and is now uxu-
rating in shade, quietness and retirement,
shut out from the busy scenes of the world,
the boys lounge under the trees, read the
newspapers and fall asleep on the grass
after seeking in vain for news Of interest.
The tents on the wooded knoll make a
charming appearance and remind one
strongly Of primitive camp,meeting scenes;
little streams flow on either flank of the
