John Haisch Writes of Practical
Philanthropy in California

The following is a letter received by
William Hodson, paymaster of the Rock
Island from Artif1cer John Haisch OF
company A, Twentieth regiment Kan
sas volunteers now stationed at San
Francisco: I'VE had a glorious trip
from Topeka. Of course as we have
Journal reporter with us you get all
the news of interest. Some of the
young men who enlisted thought they
were going away for recreation, out
they are beginning to learn that they
are not chasing round the streets OF
Topeka. They are taking their lot
pretty WELL but some of them think it
is not necessary for the officers to be
so strict. If it had not been for the
California people we would have been
in bad shape for clothes before the gov
eminent supplied us. We have met the
most hospitabIe class of people 1 ever
saw in my life. There has been strife
between two classes of people and for
that reason the boys have been better
cared for.
''The Red Cross ladies first began
looking after the welfare of the boys
through regimental headquarters. Then
the Catholic ladies began providing
clothing for the men direct. One old
Irish lady came to me and asked me
the condition of our company in regard
to clothing as she said she would rath-
er give them direct to the boys. L told
her that the majority of the men had
not changed any of their clothes since
they enlisted and also that they were
She went up town and bought every
man in company A a nice suit of un-
derwear, a handkerchief, towel and pair
of socks and a bar of soap and SO pairs
of socks and a bar of soap, and 50 pair
boys herself and you can rest assured
that the bays gave her three good
cheers. Another lady bought 200 fine
blue flannel shirts for the regiment and
delivered them herself. Company A
got it's proper share. We got 40 of the
shirts.
Il commenced writing this before
dinner and just now the first lady I
spoke of brought US a fine dinner con-
sisting of boiled ham, roast beef, bread,
butter, pie, and cake. We have flowers
till you can't rest. We have bouquets
in the tents that would make your
eyes water. I have three cases of or
anges in the commissary and we have
had so many oranges that we are
thinking of sending them to the people
at home. The papers have been trying
to make people think that the Kansas
regiment is suffering for something to
Ieat and wear. That is all a mistake.
You know there are always some men
who kick. We have had plenty to eat
and every man who did not have good
shoes did not have to work. Mitchell
Bundy is doing well and wishes the To-
peka people could see us now.
