necessary to use a lcll in daytime

more money, else they would not

for a long time. We are all well,
but in addition to that comes the
news that we are tostart for Porto

tired of this country where there is
no real duty to perform and no glory
to win. This morning we broke
camp ami moved three miles north
of where we were. Waterat the old
place was very scarce and we had to
walk two miles to take a bath
We would rather have liecn niovet
