Text	"Nothing of importance has  transpired in the Twenty-fourth since I wrote you last, except the  regular routine of camp life. The Regiment went to Selma, a little town  about five miles from camp, on a light trip. They parted on the 4th and  came back the 13th. The Brigade was thrown out as a picket. The boys  amused themselves while there in making briar-root pipes, gobbling up  sheep, calves, porkers, etc., and playing base ball, which afforded  them a good deal of fun. "
