Tennessee Regiment. The letter
is dated at Iloilo, p. l., July
Dear Old Friend I will answer
your letter of May q / was surely
surprised to hear from you, and
am glad to learn that you are well.
/ am well, but of course I am not
enjoying life as we'll as 1 used to in
old Benton-when you and | and
other playmates would Indian fight
all day amid the rocky hills.
As a matter of fact the soldier
strikes places sometimes that are
not very pleasant, but we have be-
come almost accustomed to all the
hardships of a soldiers life.
1 have been in the service about
one year and three months We
have been in active service since
February 4, and some people may
tell you that the Filipinos can not
shoot, but I want to tell you that
they are mistaken, for they have
tried their craftsmanship on me.
However, [ am still here to try my
craftsmanship at every Filipino l
can sight.
, Our regiment has been doing out
post duty on the noiIo River every
since we have been on the island.
! 1 go on duty every four days, and
from our outpost we can see their
! camp fires, and can see them walk
. ing around in the day time.
The Filipinos fight somewhat
+ like the Indians do in the States
and they are constantly firing OF
our outposts. They will steal theil
way through the high grass anC
= sugar cane until they reach the op
posite side Of the river from us, anC
then fire a shot or two at our blocE
houses before disappearing as they
came. [ believe that one Of then
would crawl all day to get shot a
