I  also  became  quite  intimate  with  two  of  my  class-
mates. One  was  Cadet  Charles  G.  Sawtelle,  the  other
his  roommate,  John  T.  Greble.  Sawtelle  was  from
Maine,  and  we  were  naturally  thrown  together,  and
through  him  I  became  associated  with  Greble.  The
latter  belonged  to  a  large  Philadelphia  family.  Father,
mother,  and  sisters  often  paid  him  visits.  They  in-
vited me  to  see  them  at  the  hotel  whenever  they  came,
and  I  was  treated  by  them  with  much  attention  and  re-
ciprocated the  kindness  as  well  as  I  could  by  attending
them  in  their  walks  about  the  post  and  to  the  parades.
After  graduation  Mr.  Edwin  Greble  always  in-
sisted that  I  make  his  house  in  Philadelphia  my  home
whenever  I  came  to  that  city.
