ting ready to go home. We have signed
the payroll and expect to soon be on
the boat. The weather is fine and the
health of the regiment excellent. The

from the firing line has done them a
world of good. Not many of the boys
are going to stay here, yet five or six
expect to re-enlist from our company
Charlie Foote is thinking of staying
and so is Chef Smith. Some of the
boys are still joining the volunteer regi-
ments now being formed here. Bob

cruit.
