LIEUT.-GENERAL THOMAS DYNELEY, C.B., R.A. 447 
LETTER XI. 
(To Mrs. Dynetty). 
Apa DE Tormes, July 25rd, 1812. 
For fear a mail should go away without my being able to give you 
a line, my dearest mother, I have taken this opportunity of halting on 
the march to say I am in high health and spirits. Had we had but a 
few hours more daylight last night I do really believe the whole French 
army must have laid down their arms.! God bless you all. Do not 
imagine I am fatigued. I have just washed my face, the first time 
for these three days and am as fresh as a lark. 
1 The battle of Salamanca.
