Dead started perfuming early! Much worse than yesterday. We are left with 6 officers including the Col. who says that he won't leave until every officer is posted. Young Brown was injured an hour or so after. Quite a cheerful prospect! Some of the dead were moved during night by the Comm. Rangers. They don't seem to like their job much. The staff seem to think that I am the only one capable of workg.
