oppressive weather we have had. I often and often
feel I should like to know my fate—whether God will
spare me to see you all again or not. It is best,
though, that we should remain in ignorance of such
subjects. I sometimes feel certain that for your sakes I
shall be, but that thought seems presumptuous, and I
try to check it. God's will be done !
Nov. 20.—Sir Cohn Campbell effected a junction with
our forte on the 16th, with a loss cf 33 officers and 500
men, killed and wounded ; at one place, within 3 mile
or two of our ports, 1,703 of the enemy were attacked
and killed in a large enclosure. The same day we made
a sortie and stormed some strong loopholed positions of
the enemy, having driven them out previously by shell-
ing, so that our loss was trifling. Our servants have
come in with part of their property. Mine made a judi-
cious selection of a few articles—one change of clothes,
a few cheroots, and one bottle of brandy. I think
yesterday and to-day have been the happiest days in my
life. Suoh a noble budget of home letters, dating from
June to September. How thankful I feel to our
merciful Heavenly Father that I have been spared
for such happiness, to hear that you were all well.
I wish it had been in my power to have written
sooner, but you will understand the impossibility
of my doing so. As I am writing now the
enemy are firing away at us most perseveringly from the
ether side of the street, making a great noise, but,
thanks to a wall 'twiet them and us, without effect. The
enemy are still about in swarms, and it is yet undecided
whether we stay here or fall back upon Cawnpore,
evacuating Oude for the present, until a strong European
army is assembled, with which we can, with God's
help, sweep everything before us.
