MANCHESTER YOUNG Man WRITES 
OF HONOR FOR 2D MaAss. 
INFANTRY. 
Mrs. John Baker of Manchester 
has received a series of letters from 
her two sons, Irving and Harry, who 
are with the National Guard on the 
Mexican border. Harry D. Baker is 
a musician with Co. H, 8th Regt., 
and Irving Baker is a member of the 
Worcester City Guard, Co. A, 2d 
Regt. Writing from Albuquerque, 
N. M., on July 2, Harry says: 
“We passed through Colorado early 
this morning, stopping at Trinidad, 
where they put on three big ten-driver 
engines to take us up over the hills 
and through the tunnel at Raton Pass. 
There two of them left us and we’ve 
been going down grade ever since at 
a good sixty miles an hour clip. At 
Raton we stopped to get water and 
have a hike to keep us limbered up. 
The major would not allow us to do 
double time on account of the altitude. 
As we go down, the country changes 
from the mountainous to a plateau. 
We are having a fine trip. The scen- 
ery when we started was beautiful 
through Connecticut and up throug‘ 
the Catskills. Then we passed the 
prairies of Indiana and Illinois with 
the fields of corn and wheat, and the 
miles of wheat in Missouri and Kan- 
sas. It gets pretty tiresome, some 
times, in the train so long, but at sev- 
eral places they have given us the 
chance for a good swim, which made 
us much more comfortable. At a 
little lake in Missouri, near the city of 
Mexico, the whole battalion went in 
together. ‘Pretty fine.’ ” 
From Camp Cotton, El Paso, Tex- 
as, he writes on July 4: 
“We reached camp at 8 a. m. yes- 
terday and made camp in the hot sun. 
At noon I was detailed to Regimental 
Fieadquarters and didn’t get through 
until ‘taps’ (10 p. m.). This morn- 
ing we had musicians’ school and 
this afternoon our company goes on 
guard. We keep double guard at all 
times and each man has been issued 
100 rounds of ammunition, which h2 
wears constantly. We are about 30¢ 
yards from the border and can see 
the Mexicans almost any time. Last 
night you could hear shots every 
once in a while, but we couldn’t 
answer, because ordered not to. No 
trouble is anticipated as yet, so dont 
worry. Just returned from taking a 
shower bath at the quarters of the 
2ard U.S. Infantry, which is camped 
just back of us. We are to be is- 
sued entire new outfits very soon, 
for which we were measured back in 
Ohio.”
