5 In fact we are forbidden to speak of it. There were 5 died of cholora in one day, and in 3 weeks report ending with April 63 were [[buried?]] of small pox. I am in the [[strikethrough]] occasionally [[/strikethrough]] hospital occassionally (since I've been here) and I learn these things but we are forbidden to speak of them. The report sent to the states is: "Died of Fever, variola, and intero-colitis," but the truth is 'smallpox, smallpox, smallpox.' Monday morning, I leave here with 2 companies A & B which are detached from the Reg. and we take the fireing line again beyond Malolos to relieve the 2 companies of the Nebraskas who were so badly cut up a few days since. The papers say that we routed them from 'dagupan' but Dagupan is 90 miles beyond Malolos and our line is only 6 miles beyond Malolos, hence the truth is that we are 84 miles from Dagupan.
