Fort MONROE, June 18-Since my las
letter very few things have occurred of much
| import, consequently my letter this week will
not he very fun of news.
| think the boys are becoming much more
| contented with the place since they have been
| informed that they would be paid of tomor
row, for from the time which elapsed between
| the sending in Of the pay roll and the final
| day of settlement 1t looked as though Uncle
| Sam was expecting us to work for the love
| OF 1t, which in fact we are, but then as we are
not properly fed, We need some money with
\ which to buy some OF the necessities of life.
On Friday, We were told by our respective
| Captains to get our canteens full of water or
| coffee and put on our blue shirts and fall in
| at one o'clock. After we had formed We
| we're marched through Phoebus, a small town
| about mile TO the north of Old Point and
| from there to Buck Row Beach, summer
resort, about three miles beyond PhOebus
aud we were brought back around the beach,
after being allowed the halt for an hour and
to take hath off the shore at Buck Row
Beach and 1t was quite pretty sight to see
| the soldiers rush into the water and kick and
splash, and whe.. they come out they looked
about four shades whittier, but | think the
water was fully shade darker, as the roads
were very dusty and the clothes OF the men
were white with It,
On Friday night q fleet WAS seen coming
past the capes without displaying their lights
and they were thought to be Spanish warships
and news was telegraphed at once here, and
reached here about quarter of eleven O'Clock
and there was quite u lot of excitement. Men
were hustled out OF their quarters and seat to
their respective guns, some going to~the
Mortar Batteries, some 10 the Rapid Firing
Guns some to the Four Inch Rifles and the
Others went to use the many different kind
OF guns which go towards making Fort
Monroe one of the most secure forts in the
southern part Of the Union.
There are quite a number of warships and
auxiliary cruisers In the harbor, among the
most important of which are the"Cincinnati,"
minneapolis buffalo and alexander"
The cases of measles in the company has
gotten much better and the patients will soon
be returned for duty, and there does not
seem to be nearly so much sickness as there
was few days ago.
We are being drilled quite often now and /
think that all the companies are picking up
in drilling finely, and even the regular army
men, admit that we can drill as well as they
can now.
We have been favored by visit from Mr..
j. E. Rouse, of Bel Air, accompanied by his
wife and daughter and Lieut.. RouSe's little son
John, and the little follow seemed to eujoy
looking at the soldier boys and the goat
immensely.
The other day when the rations had gotten
down so low that we only had a few beans,
and bread and water, one of the men remark
ed that four hours drill and fifteen beans were
very light dinner for working man.
