MY Dear Friend We have been on a
forced march ever since we left the city OF
Washington, and arrived here on the ID Of this
m onth, all in good health. Some few cases Of
The diarrhna ,aEd all us with sore feet, having
performed the journey from Camargo to this
place on loot, distance Of 2l0 miles, through
a mountainous country, and in many places.
for 5 miles, without seeing any house or wa
lerlng place. The climate here is healthy
the weather good and no want Of provisions.
We stopped few days a, Monterey, and had
the pleasure Of seeing the old General Ill his
camp, miles out If the city. Rough and
Ready is plain man-more like a farmer than
an officer Monterey is situated in beautiful
valley, surrounded by high towering ,Iioun
tains, with every house for, Of itself The
Bishops Palace is not so elevated as expected,
and a mere nothing, in my view, as palace !;
or even. IS comfortable dwelling. have not
seen any glass windows in The houses here,
or in any Of their churches. The Mexicans
are, in their personal appearance, like Indians
and live like them ln many respects. II is the
opinion of all the officers here, that the war
will soon be closed, as the Mexican army is
now in state Of starvation, and Santa Ana
can never succeed IN bringing them again 10
battle. Yours, &C..
