Description
Bill
tells
Marjorie
that the
IB
has
regained
some
of the
land
they
lost
in the
retreats
from the
previous
spring
. In the
action
,
Bill
was
hit
by
shrapnel
and was
evacuated
to a
hospital
,
where
he
is
currently
recovering
.
Bill
gives
Marjorie
the
details
of the
latest
battle
,
about
marching
on
toward
Gandesa
,
approaching
Franco's
artillery
. He
discusses
the
relationship
between
the
soldiers
and the
farmers
and
peasants
. He
says
they
fight
side
by
side
with them, and
when
there
is
a
rest
time
, the
soldiers
volunteer
to
help
in the
fields
. He
says
the
troops
got
along
so
well
with the
women
and
children
that
when
they
marched
off
to the
front
, they
cried
in the
streets
after
them.
Bill
says
that
many
of the
Spaniards
take
the
Americans
home
with them
during
leave
periods
,
so
that the
Americans
might
see
their
lives
.
Writes
about
the
liveliness
of
Barcelona
and
thanks
Marjorie
for the
cigarettes
.
