From a letter written from Camp Mead, Pa., by Sergeant Frank Wilkinson, Co. C-35th Mich. Infantry, to a Charlevoix friend we are permitted to extract the following: "I have seen Jay Palmer, formerly of Charlevoix. He is in the 10th Ohio regiment. I was going along about dark and saw a man with a paper in his hand, As he came closer I recognized the familiar headline of the Charlevoix Sentinel. I stopped him and said, 'Say, you are from Charlevoix.' He looked around and said 'Yes.' As soon as he spoke I knew him. He likes soldiering and says it agrees with him."
