Governor Lea was clear in his praise of the camp this morning. "Although the weather has been against the men yet they have stood every trial well and have learned many new things about camp life. It has been the most succesful camp they have ever had" he said. Colonel Townsend and other officers also expressed their pleasure at the way the camp had been kept. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
