ARMY W OCCUPATION,


Camp opposite Matamoras, June II, 1916.
The day after last addressed you we pulled up
stakes but, instead Of marching the river, as
our wishes heartily dictated, we merely went up to
the Upper camp" to unite with the Washington
regiment, and form our brigade Of Louisiana volun-
teers.


The effects of too much idleness is readily per-
cepble in the camp and, as | stated to you before,
believe volunteer company must be kept in mo-
ton to insure discipline and contentment We have
improved some little in drilling, but not 30 much as
could desire.


Yesterday, the governor OF Texas, General Hem
derson, arrived here from the capital Of his State,
and bore striking marks Of the fatgues Of such a
journey In the course Of few days, we look for
a large number of mounted Texans, commanded, |
think, by General Burleson, the great Indian
fighter"


The committee appointed by the legislature of
your State reviewed the Louisiana troops yester-
day evening, and seemed well pleased with their APP
pearance and maneuvring. IL was thought that
General Taylor would accompany them, but, for
some reason, he did not.


deputation Of Tonkews Indians reached camp
this morning from the Nueces, and | expect their
braves will be in before night. They are a fine
looking set Of men, and profess to be great "bob.a-
she-lahs." Look out for horses.


No volunteers from Point Isabel as vet Mexi-
can citizens continue to return to Matamoras very
fast.


The health Of the army is still good.
