visited the grounds where 4,5OO
soldiers are encamped. Here they
witnessed the troops drilling. which
he describes as pretty sight. he
does not know how long they will
remain at San Antonio. but they
expect their stay to be short.
Speaking of the crops as they
passed through the country he says
there are plenty of ripe water
melons and corn is all tasseled out.
