Hazen, who has been at Camp (My m pi a tbe past few days writes the Caledonian very interestingly as 'follows: "Many will be interested to know that the barrel sent Company D by the Volun teer Aid Association, reached Camp Olympia, Burlington, safely and in time for the use ot the boys when they arrived at their quarters the first of last week. Chaplain Day and Major Bonett ex pressed to the association most hearty thanks saying also that the fresh clean articles were just what they needed, asso many were sick at the time of their arrival. The barrel contained sheets, (tbe size ot cot beds) pillow cases, pajamas, hospital shirts, towels, hand kerchiefs, soap, a tew magazines and papers, a scrap book and envelopes ot cuttings for the use of the sick. About $45 was used in material. "It has been my privilege to visit Camp Olympia tbe past few days and it is need less to sny that I was glad to take the boys by the hand and say 'I am glad to see you home again.' The camp is de lightful for situation and all seemed glad to be in 'God's Country' again though many were sorrowful that the regiment has not seen service except in the shade ol Chickamauga Park. The boys now nave gooa miiK ana Dutier proviaea Dy the state, btside their government ra tions and these extras are highly appre ciated. The $50 sent Major Jrnne two weeks ago by the Volunteer Aid was transferreo to Major Bonett, while at Chickamauga and came to hand at just the right time. Ten dollars was left lor the boys of the company in the hos pital at Chickamauga, $20 used for the sick and well, on tbe way home and $10 for expenses at the time of the death of one of tbe company. The remainder Major Bonett will use as he thinks best. "Every one speaks in praise of Chaplain Day. He is the lile of the regiment, so kind to the sick, bright and cheerv with all. - "A few of the boys have ben sick with the measles, but their sickness lasted only a few days, and many of the regiment are suffering from typhoid and malarial fever. A nurse in the hospital ward at Fort Ethan Allen where one of our bovs is said, 'we need old cotton, so much has to be burned.' Any one wishing to give any such article's please send them to me and they will be forwarded with a few other things which, I am sure, could be made most uselul in hospital wards. "Mon.y will still be acceptable to the Volunteer Aid Association as many need medicine and tonics in the hospitals at the camp and such assistance will not come amiss to the sick boys who have come home with malaria in their systems. "All the boys were ordered back to camp Monday to be ready for the review by Gov. Grout on Wednesday afternoon," Band Concert.
