On Saturday evening the raw re-oruite arrived, beaded by Finley Kitson. The majority looked rather “seedy.”— the long journey probably accounting for it. Those who pass the examination will be muatered into the company as eoon as possible. Peter Regula has been christened the “Yellow Kid,” Pete is like the cat that came baek. L. 0. Todd of our company, was taken sick Thursday and as his condition became worse he was sent home on Snnday evening. He has malarial fever and will be better cared for at borne than here.Company L was favored on Sunday with a visit from Misses Cora Wompel, Mary Horn, and Messrs. D. Oliver, E. Stutsman, Geo. Wells, Isaac King, R. R. King, Geo. Longenecker, Harry Shell of Ligonier, and Fred Saissline and Alber Scoot, a friend, of Muncie. The folks from home always bring smiles to the faces of the boys io camp. Come again.The Leader is a welcome visitor and is always looked forward to as a news conductor. Company L in general sends thanks to the publisher for his kindness and generosity. Thanks are also sent to Stansbury Post for kind remembrances.The recruits will be examined tomorrow. As there is nothing farther of particular ioterest, I will olose with regards to all friends of Co. L.F. B. RobbinsLater—May 9. The recruits were examined today and all but six were successful. Those who failed were: M. Maggart, Willis Clawson, Wallace Jackson, Bert Wade, Charles Wade, and W. Etchison. They will be mustered into the U. S. service tomorrow, and we expect to be removed from here Wednesday or Thursday. The arrival of the recruits caused us to double up in our stalls more than ever, and there are now five men in each single stall and from eight to ton in double stalls. It is a circus to see the boys stacked in like sardines in a box or hard tack in a barrel. F. B. R.
