her son, Sergeant Marvin c. Rose, of
Company ID, First Delaware Infantry,
letter written from Fort Bayard, n.

The letter describes some Of the
hardships experienced by the troop
ers who suffer from cold at night and
from extreme heat by day. The let
ter contains pathetic note which
tells OF a desire on the part of the
Delaware boys 10 get home soon.
The letter is dated November II
and reads as follows:

dried our clothes.
Each evening at sundown we
pitched camp and had TO eat supper

in the morning we had to break the
ice to get to the water. We had
to leave our canteens empty or they
would freeze up and burst. We were
always on the march by sun-up. and
il would soon become boiling hot.
Finally we would all be sweating and
would have our sleeves rolled up and
our collars turned in and it would
seem more like the middle of July
than the middle Of November.
Il am hoping that this is the last
hike and that we will be sent home
soon. Everybody has the blues

temperature drops to 20 degrees by
