Willie said he would sit by the wireless table and keep the receivers on his ears so that Charley could get him at any time. While Charley was talking with Willie, Lew had been collecting and packing the camp utensils.
On the Fourth of July President Lincoln came to us and we were reviewed by him and the commander of the army. Mr. Lincoln was dressed in black clothes and wore a silk hat.
