Our Soldier Boys,

By letter from E. A. Cooke to Bert
Bartholomew, we learn that the boys
who left here two weeks ago to join
the 18th Minnesota regiment and
are now at Camp Ramsey are all in
good health and spirits. The exam
inatlonswas to take place yesterday or
today and expected to pass. Mr..
Cooke says they are drilling six hours
daily and while it is hard work they
are satisfied. Jack Bedford has been
doing the cooking and Phil Sheridan
has been acting as cookee. The regi-
mental officers were particularly well
pleased with Jacks culinary efforts
and probably will permanently retain
him as camp chef.
