Weather fine, and we are enjoying it. Our company remains at
camp as headquarters' guard. The other companies are going through surrounding
towns, picking up all government property, and all that is collected is put in
wagons and brought to this town. Everything marked U. S. must be collected and
stored here. In time it will be sold by government officers at public auction.
This is a fine country. Our boys are enjoying these collecting trips. We are
all so happy over the close of this awful, cruel war.
