B. Talbot. West Point In 1873 The article in last week’s paper se§ms to have created an interest in old letters written from West Point by W. L. Gash, judging from the comments and queries I have received. I thought it would not be amiss to write about a few more, which are interesting. Thanksgiving could be the title of a letter written on Nov. 2t>, in which he tells the holidav began at four p.m. and lasts until four the next day. “Cadets are not al lowed any “uniform” article in their possession, but still, a great many have even a little stove, in or on which they make candies out of sugar, stew oysters, from the press hall. This evening after re lease from quarters I went into another division to visit another friend and on every floor I could smell buckwheat cake, oysters and candies.” Writing on Thanksgiv ing day he mentions that “Uncle Sam has provided the cadets with a splendid gymnasium, in which are boxing gloves, spring boards, Indian clubs, wooden horses, hor izontal ladders, a ten pin alley, swings. The cadets are having a high old time today. About half of them have gone to a pond on the top of a mountain, which is called “Old Crow’s Nest.” It, like everything else here, has a his tory. The water in this pond is frozen so that it affords good skating grounds, and all who could parade a pair of skates have gone thither for that purpose.” Grandad Gash speaks of the en joyable dinner of oyster soup, tur key, apples, raisins, and almonds, and no mention is made of “gun wadding,” as found in former let ters. From a letter dated Nov. 1, keen interest is expressed in baseball. "I hear that Swannanoa has gained a decided victory over Cane Creek in the way of baseball. Bob Wil son, in a letter, told me also, that Swannanoa was to play Hominy in Asheville today. I hojie my old nine have been victorious. How I would laugh if they were to beat Hominy. Though I am afraid they have been beaten again.” Certain ly would be interesting to know who played with Swannanoa in 1873.
