months pay We made the best of it, for
we knew Uncle Sam " was doing the best
he could under the circumstances.
We often went four and six months without
pay. 1t was very inconvenient sometimes,

which was. no doubt, much better for all con-

get our rations to US, which, owing 10 vary

could purchase such things sometimes of the
sutler, if we had any money, checks or credit,

an order to company commanders for few
