Clayton. idaho. Jan 6. 1902
Xmas was celebrated here with
quite a little interest to the little
ones. Old Santa did not fail
to put in his appearance. The
hall was well filed with both old
and young Xmas eve. The one
thing of interest was a arge
Xmas tree, well filed, in one cor
ner of the hall. After a short
program, consisting of music
and recitations, Santa Claus came
dashing into the room, scattering
nuts. The presents were soon
distributed. A short dance then
followed.
Most of the people of the town
realized the fact that the new
school bell had arrived, when
they were awakened by hearing
its changing sound. New Year 5
eve. the young men of the town
seemed to enjoy the sport of
ringing 1.-The Old Year out and

needs officers of the law, as well
as her adjoining camps. Some

Mania. Philippine Islands,
Brigade Hospital,
Nov. z2nd, 1893.
DEAR FATHER :-Undoubtedly
you have been wondering why ]
have not written long before.
Well, to tell the truth, / have
been sick ever since I wrote my
last letter. which was nearly six
weeks ago. 1 believe l told you
that l was in Regimental quar-
ters. After being sick for two
weeks the doctor sent me up to
the Brigade hospital, where /
have been ever since-a Title
over 30 days, thinking that diet
ing would relieve me of this OBJ
stinate case of dysentery.
There are about 600 sick nen
in the Brigade hospital. l am in
Ward No. 3 where there are
about 80 men under the able care
care of DR.. Conant.
Dysentery is one of the hard
est diseases to cure in this hot
climate, and if they don't help
me pretty soon you will hear of
me making great effort to get
home, where | can get cured, as
| do not care 10 be planted
here. l Witnessed the passing
away of two men in cur ward,
and it touched my heart to see
them lie in their cots motionless,
patiently waiting for the moment
when they would be called from
this world. One. an Idaho man,
belonged to the l. o. o, r., and
that Order tenderly bore him to
his last resting place in a quiet
place beside the Passig river.
Perhaps sometime his friends
may desire TO have his earthly
remains nearer to them. where
they can erect a tablet to the
memory of one who died for his
country and humanity.
have just teen transferred
to the Red Cross hospital, nice,
neat and airy place, where 1 will
be under the care of DR.. Cobell.
| trust the change will do me a
great deal of good, and in my
next letter tell you how rapidly
l am improving.
l would like to write a long
letter and tell you about the
people here, and how they live
aud exc out an existence. l will
just as soon as 1 am able, as it
might be interesting to know
what we have to contend with.
We had a little rain this after
noon and has cooled the atnos-
phere considerable.
l desire to wish you a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year,
and regret very much that l am
not able to be with you and help
enjoy the many good things that
we will not be able to have. Just
think of it "a hot Christmas, so
l expect a ''hot old time" 1
hope l will be able to eat a good
Christmas dinner, if not a
Thanksgiving dinner.
While in the Brigade hospital
the band in the different regi-
ments come around and give US
afternoon concerts, which was
appreciated very much by the
boys.
Major Fitzgerald said that the
Idaho band gave some of the
best music that he had heard for
some time.
There is some talk about get
ting relieved by troops thlt are
on the way here. Well, Idaho
is ready to come home. and for
my part, | hope it is SO, as / do
not eel that l can afford to re-
main here two years.
/ must draw this to a close,
hoping my next letter will find
me well and back to company
quarters for duty. Again wish
ing you we'll and a Happy New
Year.
l am your so1,
