fighting at Vera Cruz. His father,
Thomas Frazer, is grocer at Eighth
and Pine streets. In his letter under
date of April %, Frazer gives graphic
account Of the landing at Vera Cruz
and the fighting that followed.
Real close" he says, was the bull
let which knocked the bugle from his
lips while he was sounding call. He
calls the Mexican soldiers "spicks" and
says: 81 have managed to get two or
three spicks' already, and if ! keep on
/ am going to check them up in a book
so ! may not lose account of them"
