evidence. Of the kindness the Mexican women afforded
TO the soldiers OF the American army-to the regulars
as WI As volunteers. when men and officers were

ting intervals Of The battle they would out of
their houses with baskets filed with bread and cakes of
different kinds snd distribute the cCrtan1 among the
officers and soldiers without the reception Of fee
ward for their kindness And il can De easily imagined
that these highly scceptAbA donations inssmueh

ders 10 be removed out Of the streets where they laid
welterinz In their blood into their houses where they
carefully and ienderly dressed their wounds and pro
yded them with food and drink They also evinced the
most ardent devotion such Of The wounded soldiers
ON the American side were taken prisoners By the
MexieAus and sent 10 their hospital They dressed their
wounds washed their clothes and brought them fruit Of
different kinds without any charge Tor their pains.
