In a letter to Tlio Tribune from
Llano Grande, Texas, dated August

pany E, Fifth Itoglmont, writes oh fol
lows; I had intended writing you soon af

our time pretty well taken up with
instructions and routine work. Wo are
getting better situated every day. Our
now equipment will noon bo here and
wecan then feel that we are regular
BOldlera.
Tho company has mado wonderful
progress sinco our arrival in Texas.
Wo had regimental parado last night
and yrfu could not huvo distinguished
our companies from tho older com
panies. In fact I bollevo wo How are
in better ohapo than some of tho com
panies that wore organized at tho tlmo
of tho call.
Last Sunday night it was our turn
to go on guard. Formal guard mount
ing was called off by reason of a
heavy rain bo guard was maintained
Informally. Thtf night passed very
quietly and without any excitement.
Last Friday our battalion took its
first practice march of fionio ten miles.
Every ono canio through in good
shape, no ono falling out during tho
ontiro march.
LaBt woek General Parker, comman
der' of tho BrownBVillo district, talked
to tho officers or tho Fourth and Fifth
regiments. Ho gavo us to understand
that wo woro not brought to tho bor
der for training but for sorvico and
if it developed that wo woro not
needed that wo would bo sent homo at
once.
Our instruction Is in charge of a
regular army offleor who 1b detailed to
each regiment. Resides four hours
drill a day wo havo privates' school,
non-commissioned officers' school and
officers' school. Tho troops aro al
ready beginning to show tho results of
this system.
Wo notice that you havo been hav
ing very hot wavo. It is hot In the
ur. hero but this last weok wo have
had a shower nearly every day. Also
in tho evening thoro Is always a cool
hreczo mowing from tho gulf.
It might bo Interesting to know
that wo pay forty-five conts a pound
for butter, thlrty-flvo cents for eggs
and fifteen cents a quart for milk. On
tho other hand wo ttorchased two doz
en egg plants for tho company for
fifty-cento. This is a greut vogotoblo
country. Tho Hummer crop has boon
harvested and in a short tlmo they
win plant another crop for tho win
tcr markot. Last Friday wo saw, in
tho samo fluid, cotton being picked nnd
cotton growing, tho latter to ho pick
ed In tho fall.
With kindest regards to all. ,
