Ca.mi' Richmond, Cal , May 2S. i)i:.it Mamma: I am on tho sick list today; have not been very well since last evening. There ii considerable sickness in the camp now. Hio pe plo hero have boen ti e. ding the boys to a good deal Of sweetmeat-, and it is suspected that some o: it wa-j j ois an c d. It wsis re port .'d th is morning that three boys f the Colorado regiment had died, and that a pot mortem examination .-h .'wetl t'aat they bad been poisoned. Ibis ir.-o-hing's papers stilted thht m'Iiio of the food was poisoned. We are not allowed to take anything of fered i.n-ots tho fence now, nor a- o we allowed to buy anything. Yesterday afternoon theie were some ladies in camp distributing sandwiches and dcughnu's. I got a sandwich and Joui'hnut, and last night at about mid nijhi. was taken with a severe pain in my stomach, so 1 could not sle3p any more. That seems to be the way most of the boys are affected. It is a wonder that some of them have not been fatally poisoned, as a crowd of the boys would get "along the fence, and when some lady would come along with a basket that looked line there was pie or sandwich in it, they wou.d say: "Oh, for some pie," and in y would take everything offered them, thus making it an easy m i'.'e for some one to give them poison vitivjut being found out. Our camp life is rather pleasant, though the weather i not what we expected. When we left Nebraska we thought that we would get to a warmer climate. As a matter or fact wo haven't had a day as warm as it was in Nebraska two months ago. The men here all seem to be comfort able with overcoats, and when we go tin guard duty at night, we either have to borrow an overcoat, or wrap our blankets around us to keep warm. It is all right inside the tent at night, though. We are doing a good deal of drilling now. In the morning we have reveille at 5:30, then roll call, breakfast at 6:30; at 7:30 to 9:00 we have company drill, then from 10.00 to 11:30 we have battalion drill; and when we come in from drill dinner is ready for us; then after dinner the program is repeated. For company drill we generally go into the Golden Gate park, where we can find a good many places to drilrl. Tho park is a very beautiful place, and I would like to be able to go through it once, but we are kept so close in camp that we cannot go outside unless we run the guard Hues, and as that is none too easy there are not many who try it now. In the park there are almost, a: I kinds of trees, both native and cultivated. Here we can see the palm and pine trees growing side by side. There ao a great many kinds of flowers growing wild. There is a tine statue of Garfield, then, also one of Francis S. Key. the author of "Star Spangled Banner." There is a herd of buffalo and deer, and the largest grizzly bear ia Cali fornia, in the park. Camp Richard, or the Bay District Track, as it is called is a couple of miles from the Golden Gate, and a mile and a half f"ora the Presidio, the other military camp here. 1 have not had a chauce to go to see the Golden Gate yet, but houe to see it pretty sonn from the deck a of the vessel that is to tato us to Manila. I d net think we will leave hero for ten days yet, as the transports are not ready yet, nor have we been com pletely tittea out. We will receive can vass uniforms and cork helmets for our campaign uniforms probabl3T us ing the blue ones for dress parade. That will make a pretty good load for us to carry on our backs, consisting of one blanket, one extra suit of uodi-r-clothing, towels, handkerchiefs, exti sheets, and our blue uniforms, b sides one haversack filled with seveivu .iv'b rations and a canteen. W hen the First California m .-r hed from camp down to take ti e ; tender the other day, several ri the beys gave out, and they or.iy had a lo-.a of twenty-five pounds be-i le thr-ir riiJe; to carry. We hope to rc .;le t go on the next expedition, out a there is a couple of regiments of regulars coming, and as the Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Colorado reg.ments are better equipped than we, tney may go with the next expedition, and that will keep ua here for a month or more longer. We are all tired of doing not-hing, and would liice to go into ac tive service. The First Nebraska is as well drilled regiment as there is in camp at this time. We have good officers from top to bottom. Co B of which I am a member is especially fortunate in hav ing tho best captain in the regiment, ( 'apt. Harry Oury of Lincoln, a former State University man. Ho is inter ested in the welfare of the men under him, and always Hoes that they get the best thore is to le had. lie Bays that wo hiivo llio btiHt drillod company in the battalion, and thnt ho is going to make it tho crack company of tho reg iment. Guy Livingston, Charles Searles, Frank Johnson, Cocil Jack and Clar ence Frye are in company M, of the same battalion as B. I see by the papers that tbe presi dent has culled for 75,000 more volun teers, and I suppose that will give Mr. Bryan the chance to raise a regi ment, and go to the front if needed. I suppose there will be a company raised in Plattsmouth, and I wish that I cou'd be with my Plattsmouth friends in the war. If tho boys go into the army expecting to have a good timo and no work they will be very badly mistaken, for it is mostly all work, but we have good times just the same. I hope that when we got to Manilla that we can wipe the Spaniards, and settle the whole affair, so that we may be able to return home before many months have passed. I don't know of any more news eo will close for this time. Give my regards to all. Your Loving Son, Mkhritt S. Kkuu. THE WHY OF IT.
