"taA oaH June II, 1886


The day after last addressed you, we pull
ed up stakes; but, instead Of marching across
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 volunteers.


The effects of too much idleness is readily
perceptible in the camp, and, as Istated to you
before, | believe volunteer company must be
kept in motion to insure discipline and con-
tcntmcnt. We have improved some little IN
drilling, but not so much as could desire.


Yesterday, the governor Of Texas, General
Henderson, arrived here from the capital Of
his State, and bore striking marks Of the ia.
tigues Of such a journey. In the course of a
few days we look Tor a large number Of mount
ed Texans, commanded, | think, by General
Burleson, the 'great Indian fighter" a. a.


A deputation of Tonkcwa Indians reached
camp this morning from the Nueces, and
expect their braves will be in before night
They are fine looking set Of men, and pro
fess to be great "bob a-she-lahs" Look out
for horses. ~ lF ,eEe ts5 #4l
No volunteers from Point Isabel, as yet
Mexican citizens continue TO return TO Mata-
moras very fast. I8 ea at '.y.


The health Of the army is still good. .n
