CAMP HASKELL, DEC. IS, 1898.
NV Dear Sir

My Dear Sir
According to the many reports cir
culated about Freehold / suppose
the people have been misled to be-
lieve that the Sd N. j., is to be mus
tered out, but sorry to say we are Just
as far in the wilderness ct present as
we ever have been and it is quite GER
tain that we will be compelled TO par
take of our holiday dinners in camp
or perhaps we may be on our jour
ney to Cnba by that time and will no
doubt be feasting upon some
of the miserable hard tack the
! Quarter Master has in store for us.
As every one knows we have been in
the United States service about eight
months and would you believe that
Uncle Sam has just been able to fur
nish us with the regulation overcoats,
having issued them to us to-day, and
lit js quite q bunco game they are
! playing upon us, as we have already
been charged about eleven dollars for
the overcoat furnished at the time OF
enlistment and now they confront us
with another overcoat which costs us
$1175 and according to the price
Uncle Sam must value the buttons
pretty high, as any of our cloth
