Mrs. w. L. Horn has received an
interesting letter from her son,
Veo Gibbons, who is one of the
Baraboo boys in Company A at San
Antonio, Tex. Among other things
he states that the weather does not
really seem so warm there. The camp
is situated about three miles from
San Antonio, which is city of about
eighteen thousand. The young man
says that one sees more of cotton,
ants and negroes than anything else.
The streets are lined with palms and
ferns and the people are all sociable,
which makes it more pleasant. There
are about 145,0O0 troops now there in
camp, and more coming every day.
Private Gibbons enjoyed the trip, and
states that he would not have missed
it for the world. The Baraboo boys
had to dig bitches around their tents
and found the ground so hard they
could hardly stick a spade into it.
