The regt has not returned yet 
but are in the neighborhod of Jackson 
We started their mail to them night 
before last,  it was the first that has
been sent since they left and as it 
had been acumilateing for so long a 
time there a large supply. There was 
some for nearly all and some had 
ten or twelve letters, it will be a great 
treat for them.  I just heard that they 
will be in this evening.  It will four 
weeks tonight since they started. 
I suppose that the friends will hear 
from some of the boys if not all by 
the time you get this.  I am of the 
impression that the expedition was 
a failure from some cause not 
yet known to the public but of this 
I am not certain.  The most of the 
time that they have been gone the 
weather could not have been better 
for such a tramp, but I hope that 
these kind of tramps are nearly finished
