RUMORS.
The camp is full of rumors about our leaving, but I hardly
think any one knows much about it as yet, although it is quite probable we
shall leave before long. The expedition is all here and has been perfected in
drill. Nothing that I can see prevents us from leaving at any time. When we
break this camp we can count our happy time over, that we have seen our best days
of soldiering. Campaign life in the held, as I understand it, is at the best a
life of hardship, privation and danger, and the man who expects much else, will
be grievously disappointed.
