The doctor nodded smilingly.
"It certainly is that," he answered.
A little later the train entered Plattsburg.
"There's a two hour wait here, girls," Dr. Anderson informed them. "While the sleepy-heads are getting up, let's go up to see the famous Plattsburg camp. Shall we?"
"Splendid," replied Letty enthusiastically, "let's."
"Of course," added the doctor, "we have but little time and so shall not be able to see very much. But even that little should prove interesting. Many of our officers for the war will be turned out here and some of our great men have come here for training."
As the doctor had remarked there was but little time to spend at the camp. The sergeant on guard showed them all that could be seen at that hour. Both Dr. Anderson and Mary Lee were specially interested in the first aid equipment. Although they had to make a hurried departure they were glad to have had this closer view of a camp destined to make history.
It was almost six-thirty when they returned to the train which was scheduled to leave in twenty minutes. They found Mrs. Anderson and one or two of the girls already awake.
"We've had a heavenly morning, Aunt Madge," said Mary Lee.
"And I suppose you called the rest of us sleepy-heads for not being with you?" Aunt Madge answered.
