We were very downhearted on May 1st when we heard of Gen. Townshead [Townshend] having to surrender in messepetania [Mesopotamia] [Siege of Kut] with about 2900 British & 6000 Indian troops.  We expect to be miles away from here at the end of the coming month (May).  Our spirts have been excellent amidst all the draw backs.
