Excerpt from The Private Journal of F. S. Larpent, Esq., Vol. 2 of 3: Judge Advocate General of the British Forces in the Peninsula; Attached to the Head-Quarters of Lord Wellington During the Peninsular War, From 1812 to Its Close

Passages is to be the depot and landing-place, I hear, for our infantry, and Bilbao for cavalry. Maj or-general Lord Aylmer is to-day setting OR to take a command at Passages he expects nearly four thousand men there very soon. We still hear the battering guns of St. Sebastian continually roar ing at a distance I fear we may lose many men in this siege. Good luck however may do something for us, and the French seem everywhere dispirited; sickness, at present, if this weather lasts, will be our most destructive foe.
