Dr. Willams came down from Jacksonville with
the people, attended meeting and returned with
them. In the evening after supper, he left Jacksonville
and returned to camp, and reported that the
people universally (who had visited the camp)
expressed the highest satisfaction, with the treatment
and entertainment, and the good order that
prevailed in our midst, that one gentlemen said
he had vissited the camp, and presumed he
had questioned about one hundred of the
men, and had receieved polite answers to all
of his questions, but could not ascertain who
they were, where they were gowing, or what
were their business, and I believe them a fine
set of fellows or a pack of damn knaves and
I cannot tell for my life which. Another
intellagent gentlemen remarked that he did
not believe there was a collage in the United
States, that could turn out such an aloquent
set of preachers, as he had heard that day
in the camp. Dr. Willams said he had heard
hundred of such like remarks at Jacksonville,
and the most perfect good humor prevailed
throughout the town.
