Mr. Draper, you in terratorys (interrogation?) about Station Camp Church. I will answer. The church is about one mile west of the mouth of Red Lick; and 3 1/2 or 4 miles from the mouth of the creek. There is a good spring that has at all times a good flow of water; it comes out at the foot of a low flat ridge, and is a beautiful place for a camp. There was a regiment camped there in 1868- it afforded plenty of water for them in the month of August- the dryest month in the year with us. I find that there have been several campes on Station Camp Creek- one near my brother Dick's, the one you wrote me about, one near Wisemantown, one at the mouth of Station Camp, and a good many Indian Camps. It was inevitable to my mind that it took its name from Boone's Camp as did the Red Lick. It strikes me that at the above spring was Boone's Camp.
