In Johns box of eatables was what made

DEAR MOTHER, 1t is hotter than
blazes here to-day. ! put my coat on
and walked to the Young Mems Christian
Association tent. where am writing this
letter. and the perspiration is rolling of
me in great shape. ate cupful of ice
cream before ! came. but it didn't cool
me of a little bit. guess this is sam
pie of the weather they will have ready
for US in Manila.
1t is about 10 o'clock. and the company
is out drilling.
John Edick and l were out through the
Golden Gate park yesterday. and we en-
joyed the sights hugely for couple Of
hours. Then we went to what is known
as "l'he Chutes." an incline Of about 20(
feet. with water running down. A boat
load of people coast down the incline
and when the boat strikes the water i,
will bound away upin the air three OF
four times. There were lots of othe,
amusements there, too, which ! won't
attempt to describe.
Dan Boutillier has recovered from his
fractured knee. and he reported for duty
this morning.
Yesterday two ladies from the Catholic
Aid society brought US each glass of
egg nog, and it was good. They said
that when their sons and brother went t.
North Dakota to fight Indians they
would expect them to be treated by oul
mothers and sisters the same way thai
they treated US. We are treated we'll By
everybody, and we appreciate 1t, too.
The latest is that we are to 70 on board
the vessel on Monday; but don't take
much stock in 1t.
don't know what my program will be
for this afternoon. may 60 down TO
the Clin House and take saltwater
bath, which l find very refreshing.
They say We will be on the water abou,
four weeks. and ! expect we will be pretty
glad to sight land. even II 1t should be
lined with Spaniards.
