The kindness and hospitality of til,
Mexican ladies are highly eulogized. "A
the time of Gen. Wool's departure from
that place there were thirteen invalie
soldiers TOO much worn by sickness tt
accompany the army. On this otca,
sion some 6flysor sixty Mexican ladies
favorable to lhs hssAmelican cause, visited
the hospital, eHsry.one of whom sought
itas favor that she might be permitted
TO take honlesaIe of those suffering sol.
