Rumors of leaving still afloat
Col. wired readiness Wed.
All glad end of stay here is
near. Men growing restless
& anxious. Not nearly enuf to
keep 'em busy. Some Companies
quarantined account Mumps
& in dog-tents, tho certainly
is a shame to keep 'em there
This kind of weather. I could
blame none for "going over
the hill" under the circum-
stances. Rather think I
might under similar cir-
cumstances. In to the city Fri-
to see Ditty off 6:50 P.M.
9-14
Has been the same old story
about leaving. all anxious and
have worked hard to get ready
and a week ago last Wed. the
Col. wired readiness & to-date
we have heard of no results
Seems to me discontent afloat
mongst the men & who could
blame 'em, 3 companies still
under sheds & in stables &
have been all during this
cold weather which got to 6 F
Looks like very poor manage-
ment to me & approaching
the crime stage.
[From?] the outlook apparently
we will be lucky to get off
before Xmas.
15-19
Nothing as a departure from the
ordinary duties until
Monday about 4 P.M. when
order came to leave which
naturally created much ex-
citement and all seemed quite
happy. Much hustling about
then and next day till noon
when those companies that were
to go in Sec. 1 had all goods
packed & ready for train, just
after lunch word sent that
cars had not arrived & would
not be up till Sat. so imagine
the fall of hope of all.</html>
