. . Many of us refused to give up arms having little faith they will be
given quarter. In this they were deceived for after having been roughly
handled and plundered, we were treated differently, our captors feeling
secure. They behaved uncommonly lenient and generous, and thanks to God,
Who is able to soften the hardest heart, they have continued to use us
ever since agreeable to the actual customs of prisoners of war, and
perhaps in some instances better.” In a letter of May he mentions that
the wounded are carefully tended and is grateful for the efforts of
Drovetti. He states that the Sergeant was given 10 paras per day, the
corporal 8, and the private 5. The officer, he believes, received 15.]
