On Sept. 8 he was recognized as sub-lieutenant of the fourth company. He finds it hard after ten years military service to enter as a simple, ensign, but it is to serve the Church that he has come. The Zouave Battalion after the battle of Iqualada and the death of Wills was somewhat disorganized. All the Zouave officers here were only Zouaves in Rome. The Holy father was heartbroken as he gave the Zouaves has blessing as they left Rome. The death of Wills was heroic and he died with the banner of the Sacred Heart around him. The Catalonians regard all foreigners as Frenchmen and they hate Frenchmen. On Sept. 10 the first solemn service for Wills took place with Don Alfonso and Bonna Maria and all the officers and troops there. There are no reporters following or attached to the staff or the army. At sun-down the troops say the rosary. His orderly is a young man from the Republic of Andorra. The Bishop and the President of Andorra preached the Crusade. He is of the opinion that Americans of means should come over and join the Zouaves. The pay of the Catalonians is large. He thinks that the Crusaders of the Sacred Heart will be the men to give back to the Holy Father all that belongs to him. Men can do more good than can money though money is good in its way. When they are captured by the Republicans they are not killed but are dispatched. Hands, ears and noses are out off. The murder of Dr. Dryfrus is an example. The discourse of Baron De Charette is a sign of the closer union of the Catholics and an end to the differences between Count de Chambord and Charles VII. The Spanish Zouaves are not to be forgotten nor is their courage any selfsacrifice to go unheralded. SEPT. 19. He is on guard today but dined as usual with the officers and the Prince. He likes Don Alfonso as he is a full hearted gentleman who is frank with him. Berga has not yet fallen as it is still blockaded. Their troops are now more than two thousand and the time is profitably spent in drill. A hundred men are expected from Ireland conducted by sub-lieutenant Burns and fifty from Holland. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 12pp. 12mo.
