I am still in good health and hope things are the same with you people. I don't expect to come home this month as we may move from here any time end would be called back again and anyway there are too many going home Just now. so I am going to wait awhile. We don't know when we will ( move though. I was sorry to hear that father was hurt the way he was. Mother sent tne the fare and asked me to come home but 1 was not ready. I am a driver and have my own horses to take care of and break in for riding. We have harness drill and gun drill every day and soon will hitch up our horses to the gun carriages and take them out. Lots of fellows have been hurt riding horses but I have been lucky so far. I have not even fallen off a horse yet and am coming along fine. We almost have our full equipment now. We drew- our pistol belt and holster yesterday and soon vvill get our pistols. We don't expect to go to France for a long while yet. We expect to see Mexico tirst. For all we know we may go to Russia and fight as they are talking of sending some troops there soon. ImsI Saturday I was in the war department building and got chased out. we thought it was the postoffice. They don't allow visitors there now. This morning 1 was out with my section taking some sick horses grazing and saw the U. S. Reserve Officer: tight a sham battle, it was just like real. It was in the woods along a road and we were in the center of it for a while. The left flank was right on our right and you should have heard the shooting. The soldiers were fighting from behind houses and stumps and when one side got too strong the other would retreat. I saw the one side try and turn the attacking left flank and didn't succeed, the attacking party captured some of these men. Wei".. 1 won't have to fight that way, we have our guns and all I will have to do is bring up the guns and carriages and then lake my horses to the rear and take it easy. There are six pairs of horses to a section, three pairs on the gun and three on the caisson. There is n driver to each pair. I have the swing on the caisson. There is the lead swing and wheel horse. I have my horses and everything and have to take care of it We are having a whole lot of troubk w ith sick horses and lo:t many. Well we have a good band now and have music all day long from six in the morning to six at night. We have concerts every night and things (all) are lively once in awhile. Well, my news is almost gone and so will finish. I must tell you we are going to be paid tomorrow and 1 will send my money home. Your brother, CHARLIE METER. DELUXE THEATER.

No scout of the plains, demonstrating his prowess on some unlucky tenderfoot, could have shot the "heel of a shoe off his victim with neater dispatch or more real art than did Joe.
