will go over the ground this morning
and notify others what is to be done.
The reception committee will go to
Ogden to meet the regiment, but it was
left undecided whether or not to ar

be the thought that the soldiers-all
except the sick oneS-after the long

cars, but, of course, that Will be left
to the discretion of Major Thompson.
