VIII pot all the regiment here.
The reason given for the change in the
plan regarding the muster out OF the
Fourth was that the regiments coming in
full strength By way Of Port Tampa could
better and more conveniently continue by
rail- 10 Augusta than those that are to
come by transport from Cuba could be
transferred 10 trains here for the trip. In
the case Of the Third Georgia special re =
quest 70 be mustered out al Augusta was
made, and IL was for that reason the same
plan did not apply 10 Il. IL is not proba-
bic another regiment. except the Third I'm
munes VIII come in by ship. and be sent
on to some other place to be mustered out.
