Camp Thomas Letter. Sunday. June 5. 1898. Weather warm and unusually dry, but the In-

diana boys seem to stand the heat very well, as well or better than they would stand the changeable weather of Indiana. Some of the boys gave out when forced upon long and tiresome marches and drills, but the officers are very careful of their men and give them plenty of rest. As we prepared our quarters for inspection during the morning, who should walk into our camp but L. C. DeVoss, Mr. S. C. Niman's son, A. Triplet. Mr. Porter and Mr. Cutting of Decatur, and while listening to the chaplain read the short morning lesson from the scriptures your correspondent was called back into quarters by the quarter-master to meet his wife.

Charles Brothers made Roman a pair of rude crutches \ by the use of which he can save any pressure upon his ankles, and he will j soon be able to throw them away or lay them by for any who should have the misfortune to' need them. The ground over which we drill is not very smooth and it is a wonder that more have not been hurt. Many of the boys begin to feel theeffectsof "their vacination. and you may see boys with the left sleeve rolled up showing a verv sore arm. I Tuesday. June 7.

and one non-commissioned officer I from each company might lx? given ' passes to visit Lookout Mountain for ten hours each day until ail have had i a chance to see the wonderfid piece, of natural wonder. The trip can be made at a cost of ninety cents and most of the boys will avail themselves of the opportunity as fast as possible, as we expect to lx> in different quarters soon. The boys are beginning to do fine work in drill and it looks a great deal more like an army camp since the guns and other equipments came to camp. Wednesday June 8.- All our visitors left fortheir respective homes today, except Mr. Niman’s son who will remain to aid his father in the sutler's biz. Quite a good many changes have been made in our cooking crew lately, and the boys, though they don’t care very much about having their quarters inspected like to see plenty of inspectors around the cooking tent. Company B's quarters and whole outfit generally passes as well as any. Thursday, June 9. —The day passed along quietly with no commotion until retreat was sounded and Sergt. Myers told the boys of Co. B. that Decatur had the honorof sending in the largest donation toward the chapel tent of any city that had yet responded to the call. The tent arrived during the day and was raised in time for prayer meeting. All con- ■ cerned are truly thankful to the Decai tur workers who have done so much for us. Friday, June 10. The regiment was required to pass inspection this morning under Major Davis, the In-spector-General of the U. S. artillery, former captain in the civil war. The guns anil quarters were inspected closely and Co. B. passed through the ordeal with its usual share of compliments. The inspector who viewed us last week said that the 160th regt had the finest set of men of any of the regiments having passed the inspection, and today the inspector said ■ that we had the best guns of anv regi- ■ ment within the park. We think from the manner of inspection and blanks furnished for requisition of supplies • that we will be called upon to move i soon. During the day ’‘Whiskers” . was notified that he shoidd get him- ; • self in readiness to move to Indiana ; : with one commissioned officer and • i three comrades and muster in enough I recruits to raise our ranks from 81 to ■ 106 in each company. Sergeant An- >. drews will select his 25 men from “ Decatur and vicinity having them to ■ j pass the examination under Dr. Cov- ‘ erdale and the examination will be > strict enough to insure all who pass it of being able to enlist as soldiers. ’ The boys enjoy themselves hugely beneath the large tent writing letters, reading books, playing chess, checki ers. crokonoe and other games. The • 'band feels more like practicing and • render very good music which drives 5 away unhappy and unmanly thoughts
