The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1899-10-12

~ HE Preside Is not the choicest spot in
San Francisco. but the members of
the regiment say they are contented
to stay there for a week or two and rest
up They are, however. anxious TO get
home. and the mastering out work cannot
progress too rapidly to suit them. The
Washington delegation. as well as the Of
ficers OF the regiment, are concentrating
their efforts to have the regiment leave
for home as near November / as possible.
Col wholley said to the Post-Inteili-
gencer correspondent this morning:
Il had a talk with the mastering officer
this morning. He is already at work and
promises that the muster out shall be sc-
compiished with all speed. / arm In a posi-
tion TO hasten 1t myself and propose 10
do so. Instead Of visiting the city fire.
quently or remaining there over night I
will make the Presidio my home until We
are ready to start north. / am as anxious
to get the boys home as their relatives and
friends are 10 have them
II know that the people OF the stale
want us as quickly as we can get there
We realize that we are welcome In San
r
more than pleased with the splendid re-
ception rendered the regiment by the
Washington delegation and the people Of
San Francisco yesterday, but many are
likely 70 forget II before great while Il.

receive In Seattle. That win live with us
always. We viii never forget II. A vel
come extended in a strange city is not the
same as that which Is rendered by friends
Since we reached this city have been
told Of the great preparations being made
for cur homecoming. and II satisfies me
that our people are anxious to have us
with them. I want 10 see as many az
.he regiment as possible so home on the
transports furnished by Mr.. Ankeny and
am satisfied that when we leave for
the north we will have the bulk ~ the
boys on board
