Dear Sis and Brother:
Not being very busy thought
I would drop you a few lines. For
the fret thing / am feeling fine, hav-
en't done a hing since / got here ex-
capt watch the ball games, eat. sleep
and take in the sights. suppose
that you folks know by this time that
we have been changed from infantry
into artillery. There is some salts.
faction in the change too. We don't
sao any walking, as the most Of us
will have horses. and those that don't
ride horses ride on heavy wagons.
We wear red hat cords, a As Colts
pistol instead of a rifle, and leather
leggins instead of canvas.
We have a nice camp here and
when all the soldiers get here there
will be about 40. 900 here. The
whole camp takes in about $500 a.
cres, and they built it right in a for
est. 50 you might imagine what d job
it was to cut down all the trees and
then dynamite all the stumps. They
are not anywhere near thru finishing
even that part Of the WORK. There
will probably be as many more build
ings put up yet as there are Eere now,
and although ! have not tried to count
them, know that there are more
than several thousand here now.
The town of Charlotte is about the
size Of 500 City although / think it
is 2 better town than 500 City, as
they do 9 lot Of manufacturing here.
There are : lot Of cotton mills here,
thread factories and many other in
Edustries. / haven't been up town only
three times 50 far. There is so much
TO see out here in camp that / haven't
cared to go up town.
