see how comfortably we are fixed. We have board houses built, accomodating some two, some four, some six and some more, and to each of them is attached a good brick fireplace. Our Shebang is intended to accomodate 4. Homer Parker and Jack Howard and [Beach?] and I. We have everthing fixed quite comfortable, bunks built and the Shanty floored and a good fire place which to-night supports a [burning?] fire. When we came on this camp ground a week ago to-morrow, we could not find a stick sufficient to pitch a pup-tent, but by tearing down old houses and fences and saving the nails and by carrying brick over a mile and using mud for mortar we have at present the most comfortable quarters we ever had.
