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. "
