On the 6th day of July we worked

the white flag went up we jumped out
of the trenches and shouted ourselves
hoarse with joy.
The city has a population of :ib ut
90,1100, and there are hundreds of
wounded Spaniards there. We are
camped just outsiie the city, and
there is lots of our boys sick iti camp.
The doetiv says it was on account of
its being so hot, and the ate'' di e
