The Second Maine, as YOU know, lef.
Augusta with the men in day coaches of
good type, three men 10 double seat,
which we consider was the best that could
be furnished under the circumstances, ana
great was the delight of the men and
the satisfaction of the officers when Sun
day noon at Kansas City we were fur
nished with tourist sleepers. thus afford
ing the men two good nights of sleep be-
fore reaching Laredo.
The attention of the Railroad men was
all that could be desired. Mr.. poane Of
the NJ. c. R. r., who accompanied the
Regiment to the end of the trip, was un-
firing in his efforts, and representatives
of every road over which we passed ac-
compa MED to the end of their road. We
believe we have great deal to thank Mr..
Doane for, in smoothing out all the little
difficulties that would have occurred. At
no time were we lacking for water or ice,
a very pleasing change from all past ex-
periences.
The Regiment reached here in good CON
dition, and the ailments from which we
have suffered up to the present time have
been minor ailments incident to camp life,
and to complete change of food and living
conditions. We have today received the
Khaki clothing for use in the Tropics and
are already getting well aCclimated. La
redo is considered health resort, and,
while the heat is excessive. there is prac-
tically no humidity and we will not suffer
on account of the change. The men are
receiving abundant rations now, as we
have had ever since reaching camp a,
Augusta, and no complaints have been
heard on account of rations
