Souvras would have written sooner but did not have McMaster's address, until he received his letter. He is sorry to announce the death of Hugh Murray, a victim of the taking of Manresa. In the seige of that city his company was the first to attack and he was struck, however, at the time the city had really been taken. He was carried to Suria where he died after receiving the sacraments of the Church. Souvras has lost a dear friend but the loss has been greater to the army and especially the battalion of Zouaves. His Royal Highness has charged Souvrard to express his regret and his desire to express himself his regrets to the Murray family. He has sent to His Highness the 2,000 francs that McMaster sent to Murray, as Murray had expressed this desire three months before he died. He asks that the distance between them have no effect on their friendship, as he hopes some day to be of service to McMaster. P.S. He will send Murray's effects to McMaster or give them to the poor. :: I-2-a A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
