  We are now in the midst of the Rainey

  Season & I must say they don’t call it the wet

  season for nothing. The Rain here simply pours

  down day in & day out without ceaseing

  the Fields are just one immense swamp &

  when ever you go out you are over your

  ankels in water & mud. It is not surprising

  where all the desease comes From when one

  sees how the water rests on the land &

  the stench that arrises from it. But like

  every thing else we are getting used to it.

   On the next page I take the opportunity of

  copying a Song which has been written &

  composted by Lieut. Hope of the 4th Border

  Regiment.
