q beautiful city and where we were stop
ping they turned the house over to u.s.
After the parade they brought US ice
cream and fruit and told US to help our
selves. We never have received that in
any other eneampment city.
s. Y. Shipman, AIdrich. MO.-Even the
BARRIERS Of indianapolis treated us so fine
and gave us all kinds of fancy service
all for one little price. When I was in
Philadelphia in 1865 attending the serv-
ices accompanying the turning over of
the war banners, I thought 1 saw some
crowd, but the crowd in Indianapolis on
parade day was the largest have ever
marched before.
A. d. Rice, Kerner, Neb.-I am tired,
but pleased at the very cordial and hon.
est reception given US.
Mrs, H. Watkins, Cunningham, Kan
The thing that appealed to me most was
that the restaurants did not overcharge
Us, as everything was more reasonable
than we expected.
Alfred Strauss, THIN, Ohio-I Leave In
dianapolis regretting only that the en-
campment did not last longer, as we were
royalty received.
Richard Jones, Pittsburgh, Pa.-The
most wonderful thing of the whole affair
was the free street car fares. We old
boys were able to see about everything
in your fine city. The first day 1 was
here I gave the conductor a nickel and
he handed 1t back and told me it was
free. Never has any other encampment
city given us free street car rides. It was
wonderful.
R. Van Camp, Tinin, ohIe.-I had
good bed, a nice room and 4 big break
fast all for 81. That can not be equaled
any place.
s. r. Ealrins, Peru, Kan.-I must
praise the free street car service to US
veterans as it enabled us to see 80 much
Of the city.
Franklin Hoover, HiIlsdaIe, Mich
am perfectly satisfied because the treat
ment has never been equaled and 1t
seems everybody's object here was to
treat US right
Charles E. Katerman, Wichita, KAN
We are strong for the Indianapolis con-
ductors because they gave us SO many
nne free rides. 1t was all splendid.
William Wood, Sparta, nl--AI ar
rangements were about perfect, never
eQualed in my experiences.
8. E. Wertz, Denison, Texas-We Texas
boys carry back home the message that
there is no place in the world as fine as
indianapolis in which to hold an encamp-
ment
N0F~s A<A 8AACSs ny ne
finest treatment to be had was given all
OF US; free automobile rides and free
street car service; everybody extended
Us such a fine reception and the Indian
apolis people went out of their way to
give us a splendid time
William NJ. Heddens, PhiIadelphia-AlI
the comrades are going home happy and
when any Indianapolis people came to
Philadelphia I want them all to look
ne up.
Fred Wenz, st. Joseph, Move have
had better treatment at this encampment
than at any other 1 have attended, and
have missed only a few since the G.
A p. was organized.
This sentiment was echoed by Mr.
Wenz's comrades. S. II. Mann and Christ
Balsiger Of Custer Post No. Z, st. Joseph,
who referred to the unbounded hospital
ity extended the veterans by the people
of Indianapolis, the automobiles freely
placed at the disposal Of the old soldiers,
the kindliness Of the police in giving
them information and the chairs and
benches put along the streets for the
comfort of the veterans.
Charles J. ROuech, Bay City, Mich
We couldn't ask for better treatment than
we have had here.
Frank A. Aldrich. Geneseo. nl.-We
think it's just perfect-splendid Wish
we could stay here forever and have all
our encampments here.
W. i. COwper, Moundsville. ". Va
We have been treated royalty and wen
never forget ii.
s. a. Peters. st. Louis, Mo.-we've been
finely entertained and If you'd put it to
q vote everybody would vote that way.
George L. Harlan, Kearney. Neb.-Not
word Of fault can say and not word
have 1 heard.
Daniel L. Chapman, Bay City, Mich
We've had the best time of our lives.
Alexander Welch, Bay City, Mich.-I
