An Interesting Letter.

The following letter will be of especial
interest TO those who have friends at
Tampa, Florida, with the Thirty second
Regiment Michigan Volunteers:
TAMPA, FLORIDA, May "a, 1895.
DEAR SIR
will send you a short description of
my trip to Florida.
Before starting for the south we had,
while in Island Lake, rather hard drill
every day. We stood it fine. Plenty
TO eat and well treated. The number of
us that went together from Alma all
belong TO Co. e. | can truthfully say
this is the best company i'll the regi-
ment, composed of large number Of
christian young men who attend relig-
ious services, prayer meeting every day
and preaching Sundays. Banding our
selves together, sharing each others COM
forts and joys, trying to keep ourselves
from the evil that surrounds us. We
We're al anxious TO go south when the
order came, hoping, as is quite natural,
that we might all return after we have
done with Spain, and if we do not all of
us, we can not fall in better cause.
We left Island Lake Thursday even
ing and arrived here in Tampa Sunday
evening. We did not leave the cars till
Monday morning, then we marched to
camp three-fourths of mile, the ther
mometer standing 1909 or thereabouts.
The sight seeing on our journey was
simply immense, and would have TO be
seen to be appreciated. The oil wells of

tunnels; Tennessee with its Lookout

just sit in the shade and sleep during
the day. In the evening we all go in
swimming in Tampa Bay, the doctors
with us. 1t is pure salt water. There
is a mineral well from which we get our
drinking water, and it is we'll guarded
day and night. a Spaniard was caught
trying to poison the well, and he is TO be
killed for it this evening. Every well
in town is guarded day and night, in
fact everything is heavily guarded and
if there is not a halt when called Co,
orders are to shoot. Spain sent over 60
boats and Sampson says he wants them
and Uncle Sam says he may have some
boats TO go after them with.
News has come that our flying squad
ron has cornered al the Spanish fleet
and is waiting for Sampson Spain is
walking on her last legs and will soon
tumble. Most Of the Spaniards have
gone from here, they are afraid. There
was another Spanish spy caught today.

mascots They took the darkies down
town to treat them. They met some
of the Georgia boys and as they hate all
darkies they had scrap over the
darky question. They were not in fun
either, they meant business, but our
boys were victorious.
We have received news that we are to
go TO the Philippine Islands in about
one week. The 3lst Regiment boys are
jealous of Us. A man high up in au-
thority said our 32nd Regiment was as
good as the best in the U. S. A. We
have plenty to eat. all the lemonade we
want everyday furnished by Uncle Sam.
Southworth of our company is making
money barbering.
We were sad 20 hear of Mrs Mitchell's
death and will all unite in sending
letter of sympathy to Prof. Mitchell l
think we will value our homes more for
having left them for time. | would
