CAMP THOMAS, LYTLE, Ga,
Thursday, June 90.

thursday, June %.
Everything seems to move in the
same regular way, but very little varia-
ton in the life and duty in camp. When
we 'roll in at taps we are almost sure
what the morrow Will bring as far as
duty is concerned. About 5 20 the first
serSeant's words get up" float through
the air and although beds arc not what
could be called soft, yet one has the de-
sire to stay just few moments longer,
but his word is law. Then comes the
regular work. Pick up The tents, hang
out the blankets, "fall in" for roll call,
then "fall in for mess at $50. Those
who are selected for that very pleasant
duty of two hours on and four hours off,
"fall in" for guard mount at $40 and at
I there is one more 'fall in for morn
ing drill which is usually a company
drill and lasts until $50. From then
until u our time is our own. Some of us
have that 'tircd feclmg," so take q nap,
while others busy themselves reading,
writing or wandering about the park.
At II we "fal i'm in for dinner, and of
late it has been well worth falling in
for, after dinner we have Until 3.15 to
do as we like. Then comes afternoon
drill which is battalion or regimental
drill and lasts until ). At 6 we fall
in for supper. Tonight it was boiled
cabbage and potatoes, bread and coffee.
At 625 comes another ''fall in," This
time every man must answer his name
or lose a days pay, 52 cents. After
this we have until 905 to ourselves,
when we sfali in for the last time for
tattoo roll-cal and at 9.l5 all are in bed
I and the lights out, another day gone.
You see we have just a few "fall ins"
but at the same time we have a good
share of the day TO ourselves, in fact we
have considerable more time than the
other regiments.
This evening at 5.l5 we had little
extra dress parade, it being the first we
have had since our arrival. For some
reason the practice march which we
were to have tomorrow and Saturday
has been postponed until next week.
