from which we quote the following:
Well we are all feeling we'll and
hope you are the same. We have a
new home, that is the artillery from
Charlotte and a few others. We are
in the same place that the Rainbow
Div. was camped. The most of that
outfit are on their way across. There
arc a few Of them left, and they are
hacking up to go. Don't know how
long we will stay here. They must
have had q big rain storm here last
night. Half of their tents are down,
and standing in from 2 to 20 inches
of water. There sure is a busy bunch
around here fixing up stoves, filling
straw ticks-the worst is to get wood
that is dry. We are close to three
towns, Garden City, Mlnneola and
several other little places right close.
We are only about 20 miles from
New York City. That sure is some
town. We went right through the
he art of it. We also went thru two
tunnels each three miles long, run
ming under the Hudson river.
We never knew anything about NOV

ready for Monday, but did not say
where we we're going We were all
packed up Monday afternoon when we
got orders to unpack and stay over
night, because they did not take an
inspection of cur clothing. The next
day we got ready again and had in
spection. We got out of Charlotte
about one o'clock Tuesday night, and
rode until n o'clock Thursday. We
weren't allowed to write from Mon

The most inspiring incident which has
SotuS " Jul aIGCiltlOh was W leu
by one Of the solicitors Tuesday. One
mar who was on his way to the court
house to be made a n~aturalized citizen
by Judge Trip was asked to take a
bond He said he did not want a
bond but that he wanted to give the
government $50. 90. This particular
man is a day laborer and $50. 90 to
him meant more than SIS, 600 means
to many who only take a $4,000 or
500. 90 bond. However he had lived
in the old country and appreciates
what it means to be an American cit
izen. Incidentally he was persuaded
by the solicitor to accept the bond
with his contribution.
