92 THE MAINE BUGLE.
as the day was expected to be one of continued fighting. The colonel immediately
after the forcing a passage asked each one of the companies engaged how many shots
he had llrcd, and gave some emphatic instructions in relation to the magazine carbine
then new in our regiment.— J. P. C.
Capt. E. C. Bigei.ow, commissary of First Mame Cavalry, of Newton, Mass., writes:
I am only too glad to send you the amount due for the Bugle, and can no doubt
aid you in a measure, by paying in advance. We all should be willing to remit one
dollar on receipt of the first number in January, which would be paying in advance
for three numbers.
COMPANY M COMRADE REMEMBERED.
Y. T. Savage, Co. M, First Maine Cavalry, of Fairfield, Me., writes
I should have paid long ago and am very sorry that I did not. I have always
thought that you were doing more than your part. I enclose check for four dollars.
I see that my bill is one dollar; would like the balance sent to some deserving mem-
ber of Co. M, and, dear comrade, if that is not enough let me know and I will try to
pay more promptly in the future.
Note.—Two dollars were credited to Savage's account, one being for '94 Campaign,
and the balance, two dollars, was credited to a worthy Co. M comrade whose writings
have appeared in the Bugle.
JUST THE THING.
Benj. Gould, Co. D, Eleventh Maine, of Lewiston, Me., writes:
I am glad to see that there is some one that has the will and ability to publish such
a paper as the Maine Bugle. It is just the thing for the old soldiers to preserve fur
coming generations, besides being interesting for us to peruse in our declining years.
1 will do all in my power to aid it.
WILL .SEND SOMETHING FOR PUHLICATION.
Hiram B. King, Co. A, First Maine Cavalry, of Mechanic Falls, Me., writes
I inclose P. O. order for two dollars and fifty cents on the Bugle account. I beg
you to excuse me for not having attended to this sooner. I will send money in future
for Bugles in season for each call as I do not feel like living without it. Will
endeavor to send something for publication.
CORRECTION.
Hiram C. Jordan, Co. F, First Maine Cavalry, of 50 Union St., Portland, writes:
The report in the October Bugle, page 71, that Chas. F. Dam and C. W. Skillings
are the only surviving members of Co. F who enlisted from Portland, is not correct.
I enlisted at Portland and was the fifth man on the roll, and I know of a number of
others who enlisted from Portland and who are alive at the present time.
f^TQ^K.—Who was the first man enlisting in Co. F?
WILL PAY 1-OR ITS MUSIC.
Sidney W. Clark, of Co. A, First Maine Cavalry, of Masardis, writes:
I am a great sufferer from rheumatism and have but little money besides my pension.
It is hard for me to hold my pen at present writing, but 1 wish you to know the cause
of delay. I want tohcar the Bugle blow as long as I live, and will endeavor to pay
for its music. I notice in the October Bugle a letter from Redmond O'Connell of
