FROM CHIOKAMAUGA
Morrison Hanley Writes An Interest
ing Letter From the Georgia
Camping Ground.

Morrison Hanley, of this city, writes
as follows to his parents:
CHIcKAMAUGA, GA May 29.-My
Dear Home Folks: expect you are
anxious to know how We r getting
along down here. We are doing fine.
We had Il delightful trip through
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky. Ohio
and Tennessee into Georgia. We
were A hours on the road.
We expected to get almost roasted
when we got here but 1t is cooler here
than in St. Louis. The nights are
cool; we have to roll up in blank
cts. We r camping on the old
Chiekamauga battle-ground, near Mis-
s~ionary Ridge and near Lookout Noun
tain, both historic battletieids of the
late war. One can still e the old
scars on the trees and can cut ont the
bullets. We sleep on tbs ground that
was once wet with human blood and
where thousands of soldiers were piled
over one another dead, but we see no
ghosts and sleep until time for roll
call.
The people of Indiana and Ken
lucky seem to be the most patriotic.
They served us hot coffee to drink and
one lady In Kentucky came along with
a basket of blue grass and to each
soldier she gave a bouquet. They
gave us a warm reception at each
stop.
We are having our measures taken
for uniforms and expect TO get them
soon. We have good water to drink
and good bathing places. There are
about $1,000 soldiers in camp here.
This seems to DO a very healthy place,
plenty of shade trees, oak and pine,
The squirrels are hopping around, bat
we are not allowed to shoot them.
We may stay here ali summer or we
may leave here any time. The boys
are all in good spirits and are ready
for anything that comes. Hoping to
hear from you soon, / will close with
love to all. Your afectionete SOD,
MORRISON HANLEY.
