soldiers being allowed to do much as
they pleased from first cali until taps.

visitors until evening.
The day was bright and cool with a
fresh southerly breeze blowing but the
air was heated to an almost cooking tent
perature during tho late morning and
early afternoon hours. Soldiers sought
the shelter Of their tents as much as
possible and with side flaps up lay about
on their cots reading and receiving what
few visitors called upon them.

guard mount and at $50 o'clock divine
