their orchestra, helped make the always

from Grace Church were the eating of
watermelon in the diningroom of the
Union boarding tent and singing the
camp to sleep (?) Immediately there

sing and it was rumored that some helped
with the watermelons. Anyhow, they
were all there, they were all happy, and
they helped put everyone else IN the
same mood, despite the warm weather.
