J. Hartman. Senator Penrose's visit to the camp of instruction here was originally planned to be a very quiet affair and as a personal call upon Brigadier General William G. Price, commander of the First Brigade. But after a morning spent looking around the camp of the Philadelphia troops, he decided to also inspect the Fourth Brigade, and the trip was made in an auto. He started back to General Price's camp about 4 o'clock, on foot, accompanied by his host and General Coryell and several other officers, passing through the streets of the several regiments.
