from incline. We got out to the riile
range 11:30 a. m., got tents set at 12:30
and had dinner at 1:30 p. m., which
consisted of cold beef, bread and water.
Our camp ground was fine grass and
the shade was out of sight—evergreens.
We strolled around in the afternoon
because we were free, no guards were
around us until night. We went to
the houses and got peaches, pies, water
melons, and such melons, and good
drinking water also some line apple
cider.
I and another fellow went to stroll
around one day and went over to
where the officers ate at a farmers
house. He had some fine cider. There
were guards there to keep- the boys out
of the orchard. We went in to-the
guard house and four of us drank a
half gallon of cider.
After awhile the officer of the day
and officer of the guard came around,
which was my 1st lieutenant and Capt.
Parker of company, and they bought
another gallon. I had all the cider 1
wanted for a while. We went out on
Tuesday morning and shot live rounds
over 200 yard range, the highest that
was made by our company at 200 yards
was 23 out of a possible 2-5 and the
highest that was made in our batalion
was 24 over the 200 range, which Capt.

Well if I never get to war can say I
have had the bullets go over my head.
I was in the rifle pit a half day right
under fire, stones came over in the pit
as big as your fist there was one private
got struck on the side of his face by a
broken off 2x4 and the lieutenant had a
close call, there was astray bullet went
passed his head about twelve inches it
just scared him a little.
Well we heard after we got back to
camp Thomas that Spain had sued for
peace, and it looks now as if we weren't
going any farther to the front. The
5th Illinois started to leave for Porto
Itico Wednesday and was ordered back
after the soldiers had filled three carp.
They were a mad lot of boys. The
boys just raised cain and the officers tore
their stripes off. If we got fooled that
way we would take possession of three
trains and go to Des Moines and run
excursions for a while from Chicka
mauga Park to Camp McKinley, Des
Moines.
Well the boys are waiting for pay
day, they are signing the pay rolls now
we expect to be paid oil the 5th of next
month. The paymasters are here now
and they start paying off the soldiers
in camp Thomas next week. We are
all gi.-.d of it because we a very near
broke.

day, I will be glad to see some Denison
folks again if I only get to see him to
talk to him, but I expect we will have
a grand review.
We are going to have a brigade
review tonight. That means to stand
two hours at attention for General
Brooke to see us, and the old saying is:
"I had a good place, but I left to hear
the bugle call," "soapy, soapy, soap,
without any beans,"
-'soapy,
soapy,
soap to make you lean."
We didn't have any church last Sun
day on account of rain. Chaplain
Johnson said we were going to have a
regimental Surday school. Chaplain
Johnson is from Mapelton, Iowa, not
very far from my old town. My com
rade Gene Justice has been quite sick
for the past week but
1s better now he
is able to be arouDd. I am well myself
and hope the boy in the 51st are the
same at San Francisco. Gene Justice
got a letter from Claude Brogden this
noon said they were all well, but were
tired of staying where they were, just
like we are.
We have plenty of rain here, it just
poured down last night before we went
out io drill so we did not have any
drill which \ve were elad of.
Yours truly,
WM. J. SCOTT.
