DEAR MoTHER-Your letter of
Oct. LIST just reached me and l will
now answer. All home news is
read here with much interest
The rainy season is over now
and the rebellion is almost sup
pressed. But in stopping the in
surrection we have lost one of our
best and bravest leaders, Gen. Law
ton. He was killed at San Mateo,
by the insurgents, while trying to
help one of his staff officers, who
was shot in the arm. The bullet
passed through his heart and he
expired in a few minutes. Every
officer and soldier regrets his loss,
for Gen. Lawton was liked by all,
and did more to stop the war than
any other officer over here.
Our regiment has been fighting,
but is now in some towns holding
them and keeping the river Grande
open to travel. When they were
fighting they, often, were without
rations. Some of the men march
ed several days without shoes to
wear; thus their feet became COW
cred with sores and swelled up so
they had to be sent to the hospital
in Manila. Out of five hundred
men, only two hundred are really
able for duty. My company has
not been heard from for over two
weeks and / don't know their con-
dition. Well, / am still in the hos
pital and am improving a little.
Am glad to hear you are all well
and hope this will still find you
healthy. l will close now, having
no more news at present.

U. S. style, those old and joyous
holidays.
The rebellion is about broken up

paign of two months. They were
in the mountains and had very
poor rations. Now many of them
are sick and four died of sickness.

ing too sick to go. We are now

We got nice Christmas present
from the Red Cross Society, con-
sisting of a comb, cake of soap,
tooth brush. towel, and two stom-
ach bandages. These were very
much appreciated, as everything
is useful to a soldier.
Tell May to give all the girls my
best regards and thanks for think
ing of me. When l get back /
will have lots to tell them.
There is talk here of our return
ing before very long, but nothing
definite. Tell all who wish to write,
