We made camp as we have often done before but this is a little bit different. We have no lights to begin with. There are lanterns, but no oil: orders for candles but no candles. There is very little water. What water we have is rationed out to us only after it has been inspected and doctored.

But in spite of these. and numerous other things, the boys are happy, and up to now. well fed; but even grub is going to be scarce. The busiest man in camp is easily Brig. Gen.

Leonard F. Wing, whose job it is to guide the destinies of the 86th Brigade of which the Vermont units are members. In his many tasks he is assisted by the staff of the former brigade commander. Gen. Albert Greenlaw of Augusta, Me.

In addition he has as aides Capt. E. W. Gibson. jr of Brattleboro and Second Lieut.
