Murray, Hugh, St. Pau, Spain, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1873 October 01
Scope and Contents
The column arrived at St. Felice the previous day and will leave on the following day. The prince, Don Alfonso, has offered him a horse which he has declined. Moore is ready to join the Zouaves with his men. Moore is a brave and daring fellow, descended from an Irish father and a Catalonian mother. The heavy Republican losses at Berga have been fully confirmed even though the enemy burned the dead bodies. The royal troops at present number about 250 men and are not plagued with sickness of any kind but the big difficulty will be in securing arms, since none are well-armed. The great majority of our men have no bayonets. Help from the Count de Chambord is not certain.
