gers, mostly old comrades and their
wives and members of the Womcns'
Relief Corps to attend the encamp
ment. As there were already several
hundred at Newport who had ar
rived before it made quite a crowd
and it kept Dr. Carter and Sam
Irvin busy assigning them to their
rooms. The Newport band was Ht
the wharf and furnished music for
the occasion.
