into detail as regards this camp.
You, no doubt, see that in every
daily paper, but the papers en-
large very much on the hard
ships we have to undergo. There
are lots of things that are not
as they should be, but in time
they will have every thing COM

in the bath room inside the next
two weeks. At present we have

pretty dirty but a fellow cant
wash it as it wont dry out over

day.
We have a pretty good bunch
of officers, altho they are very

harps and a good many have
good voices, so we have lots OF
singing, dancing and music"
"This barracks has 1875 men il
it, including the cook who sleeps
in the kitchen. We have five
company officers, commissioned
men. The bunch is made up OF
Lafayette, Ray and johnson

Everybody is compelled tc
