There have about fifty new recruits for the Regiment arrived here, nine of them I believe are for our Company, and hard looking Nuts they are too, one of them formerly belonged to the same Company in the 10th Ills. that Eddie did He was wounded in the leg and discharged, another is a deserter from Company K of our Regiment about one year ago. He enlisted under an assumed name, but was recognized as soon as he arrived here, and is now under arrest at this place. When he goes out again it will most likely be, to be shot. If he has not sence enough to know that by enlisting in the same Regiment would insure his arrest. He will surely not be much loss to the Company. Do not you think so. The recruits are going to be stationed at the Regimental head quarters where they will be drilled for the present. So that is will be no relief to our boys for the present from their heavy duty. I have sent to days paper to you, also one to Aunt Carrie giveing an account
