Camp Jones Flat Top Mt
June 27th / 62
Dear Father
We have just
returned from Parade and
I have a few moments
to write until dark. This
has been rather an unusually
busy day with us after
Guard Mounting this morning
the Batallion was formed
and the Col Marched us
to a stream of water across
the mountain a distance of
two miles to bathe.
On the way back we stopped
on the summit of the mountain
and the boys had a little
dance. the Col stopped with
us. he (Co Hayes) is I think
one of the best men in the
service an efficient officer
[page 2]
and a kind and humane
man always attending to the
wants and wishes of his men
and at all times has a kind
word for everyone that speaks
to him. every man in the
Regiment loves him which
is one of the best recomendations
an officer can have.
Dinsmore's letter will resume on the 28th.
