We were paid off Tuesday and a
crowd of us went over to Washing
ton Wednesday. Washington is
one of the prettiest places that |
ever saw. We visited the Navy
Yard and saw them making all kinds
and sizes of guns. We went through
the boat that brought Gen. Lee over
from Havana. From the Navy Yard
we went to the Congressional Lii
brary. This is the finest building
in the world. The dome is covered
with pure gold. The inside is made
of the finest marble, trimmed with
gold overhead. The Capitol build
ing is the next place of interest we
visited. The Senate was in session
and we listened to one of the Sena-
tors speak a while. We did not go
in the Representative Hall because
we did not have time. Then we
went to the White House, but did
not 90 in to see the President, as
the door-keeper informed us that we
were fifteen minutes too late. The
War, State and Navy Departments
are Just across the street from the
White House, and of course we
wanted to GO through them, but did
not know whether visitors were al
lowed or not. We saw a gentle
man entering the White House
grounds, and [ told one of the boys
to ask>him if visitors were allowed
through the War Department. III
