The boys had many feasts of pie and other supposed delicacies, and they had money for tobaco and other things which made camp life more elidurable. "lind tile war contmued long enough I have no dottbt that many regiments would have adopted similar plans and been ~l)le to secure at certain tim~s such delicacies as the men craved, but )vhicil are not inchided in the r.egular arm~ rations. But this has been a short war. and the men were not fully adaped to their new condition when the war ended, and )vitilout the stimulus of battles and danger the men became homesick in their longing to return to their homes, I am glad to see the War Department in its report Ins taken account of this disease, for it is a disease, and should be recogniz- ed ih the army. I notice that they are recording the deaths of men from nos- talgia, and that men are sick from this disease. "l'hat is correct, it is a disease. and I have seen nlen die from it in the .civil war. We were camped at IIelena, Ark for some weeks, and it was dis- couraging to the men. ] doubt!f San- tiago was a worse fever-infested place than IIelena when nly regiment was there. Many of my men di(~d from fever, and some became throughly dis- couraged and homesick, and nothing could save them. Letters from home did the men more good than any medi- cine, and I have no doubt that if the men at Santiago could have ht, ard from home more frequently thqF would have stood the fatigue of the campaign and the illltuence of the de- bilitating climate better.
