Vol. Regiment, reached Manila Bay on the afternoon of December 26th, where we laid in quarantine until the morning of the 28th, when we wntn ashore an marched out three miles east oa.. city of Manila, where the companies were separated at a distance of one half mile . apart to do outpost duty, being the nearest outpost to the city. We remained there for a few days when we relieved by the 42nd regi ment and marched four miles east, at the edge of the mountains, at which place we also did outpost duty and sent out scouting parties up until Jan nary 28th, when we were relieved by the 41st regiment this time, and marched into Manila and pitched camp In our shelter tents on the Luneta, which is a very pretty place; it is the favorite promenade and driveway on the water front. Our regiment is having a very easy time at present-no drills or guard duty, go and come as we choose. We will go on the transport in a few days #o be transported to the Island of Midanao, at which place we are to do garrison duty. From the looks of things, a person would think that the war was about over, but one can't tell. I don't think that we will see any active service.
