campagainst_a the_o spaniard_n in_o a_o great_a disorder_n we_o hear_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o spaniard_n have_v defeat_v the_o french_a army_n in_o catalonia_n and_o have_v take_v two_o eminent_a place_n from_o they_o and_o be_v still_o advance_v upon_o they_o when_o we_o come_v into_o punian_n the_o people_n do_v not_o care_n to_o come_v near_o we_o for_o at_o the_o fame_n time_n they_o have_v the_o plague_n in_o the_o town_n which_o as_o they_o report_v we_o leave_v behind_o we_o as_o we_o be_v go_v to_o toulon_n for_o in_o this_o place_n we_o lodge_v two_o night_n and_o one_o whole_a day_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o rain_n we_o be_v here_o lodge_v in_o a_o very_a cold_a stable_a where_o our_o supper_n be_v a_o small_a loaf_n and_o half_a a_o ounce_n of_o cheese_n with_o beverage_n as_o at_o other_o time_n when_o we_o have_v sup_v we_o lay_v we_o down_o on_o the_o cold_a ground_n to_o sleep_v but_o be_v not_o able_a to_o lie_v there_o long_o so_o that_o many_o of_o we_o get_v up_o and_o walk_v about_o the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o night_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o warm_a about_o three_o in_o the_o morning_n another_o man_n and_o i_o go_v out_o of_o the_o stable_a where_o we_o see_v a_o fire_n just_a by_o we_o with_o four_o frenchman_n fit_v round_o it_o with_o their_o gun_n to_o guard_v it_o we_o walk_v towards_o the_o fire_n which_o when_o these_o poor_a fellow_n see_v they_o call_v out_o to_o we_o ask_v we_o whither_o be_v we_o go_v we_o tell_v they_o to_o the_o fire_n they_o bid_v we_o keep_v back_o but_o nevertheless_o we_o go_v up_o to_o the_o fire_n which_o when_o these_o poor_a soul_n see_v that_o we_o be_v not_o affright_v at_o their_o word_n which_o be_v the_o utmost_a they_o dare_v do_v they_o present_o get_v up_o and_o away_o they_o go_v call_v we_o bugera_n etc._n etc._n and_o leave_v the_o fire_n to_o we_o so_o here_o we_o two_o sit_v by_o it_o until_o we_o sit_v it_o out_o which_o time_n it_o begin_v to_o be_v day_n now_o we_o find_v that_o as_o last_o night_n no_o body_n will_v come_v anear_o we_o to_o let_v we_o have_v any_o wine_n to_o drink_v but_o what_o the_o guard_n be_v force_v to_o fetch_v a_o mile_n off_o so_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o our_o ill_a report_n we_o get_v a_o good_a fire_n to_o warm_v some_o of_o we_o to_o ourselves_o saturday_n 19_o before_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n we_o march_v

the_o place_n upon_o the_o road_n be_v infect_v with_o the_o plague_n the_o people_n as_o they_o pass_v by_o keep_v stop_v their_o nose_n for_o fear_n they_o shall_v get_v the_o plague_n of_o we_o

have_v among_o our_o poor_a man_n do_v proceed_v from_o hunger_n and_o cold_a and_o our_o stink_a lodging_n when_o we_o come_v into_o lupean_n we_o be_v conduct_v to_o our_o old_a hall_n the_o
