Mail for any person at the can | and attached units, such as the ba hospital and the remount station, sent to the camp postoffice, locat just to the north of the P. & ] tracks about halfway between Pai and Camp Sevier stations. Here it sorted according to the addresse( organization, and three times dai the mail orderlies from each out: come and get their mail. There a mail orderly for each regiment < smaller detached unit, and if tl article of mail matter carries tl soldier's company as well as his re iment, the rest of the letter's trav is simple. The regimental order turns over to the mail officer f< each company all its mail, and he turn distributes it directly to tl soldiers. If the address shows on the regiment, whether or not tl 1 ifo /Inefmofmn nr?nmi ICtUCi X CatUCO 4 WO UbOVUIHViVU ly depends chiefly on the orderl If he is zealous, he can general find the man's company in the r cords on hand, but if he is lazy tl letter goes back without furth ado to the camp postoffice.
