the piazza, but We were not advised as to
these matters. Massachusetts" should have
duly notified US, then We should not have

and embraced military etiquette to the best
of our ability on two weeks drill.
In matters of prudence and right, second

decision. Massachusetts" does seem to be
ignorant of some useful things which he
could learn by staying with US longer; then
he would not have to rely on US for so many
of his best schoomasters.
