IN CAMP WITH CO. II.
Local Boy Writes of New Quarters
Amid Pine Hills of Rapides.

Paul T. Thibodaux, Jr., one of the
patriotic Donaldsonville boys enrolled
in Co. H, First Louisiana Infantry
gives an interesting insight into the
camp life of that command in letters
written to his father, DEPT. Thibo-
daux, and his grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sabin Savoie, of Belle Rose.
The following paragraphs are quoted
from the communications, which are
dated at Camp Stafford, La, Aug. 4:
eve are camped in the middle of
the red hills. There are nothing but
big pine and oak trees around 1t GER
tainly is change from New Orleans,
where the land was level, and where
we would go to town every night.
Here we are four miles from town and
no way to get there except by walk
ing, and we have such a short time
to get back in that most of us prefer
to stay in camp.
"Our camp is on a hill we'll shaded
by big trees. The air is something
splendid, fresh and bracing. In New
Orleans every morning was foggy and
the air seemed dead; here it is just
like wine in the morning, and you
feel like eating plenty of breakfast
after taking your matutinal exercise.
The nights are longer up here than in
New Orleans, or else we have the
wrong time, for when we get up here
it is dark, while in N. 0. it was broad
daylight at the same hour.
eve get up at o'clock and go
through physical exercises until 500.
At $50 we have breakfast (plenty
of real grub to eat) At 6 all the sick
go to the hospital to be treated, that
is, if they are not too sick to walk.
At 6:55 we start on the morning hike,
and continue to hike until 1885, rest
ing about 35 minutes during. that
period. After 1885 we have our
time to ourselves until 2:55, that is,
we can bathe, clean our guns, etc. At
l2 sharp we have dinner. From 2:55
to S we drill. At $50 supper is serv-
ed. At 6:20 retreat is sounded and
the flag taken down. For this cere-
,nony we are required to be dressed in
our cleanest clothes, shaved, with
shoes shined and all equipment
cleaned and polished. Taps is blown

II had my hair shaved off the other
day. H Army looks like a convict
farm instead of camp of soldiers.
The sun blinds you when it reflects
off of one of those shiny domes.
Pineville Asylum is about one mile
from our temporary camp, (for this
is temporary camp), and we are al
ways teasing one another about who
will be the first to go there.
"We have not been paid off yet.
The paymaster will probably show up
about Tuesday, but what's the use?
This is not New Orleans. Oh well.
we're in the army now.
