Your statement in a recent editorial
that England hired Hessians in the war
of 1875 Ito murder u.s. seems TO me to
be hardly q fair one-and I am q de-
scendant of American rebels of that time.
The Hessians were the troops OF Duke
Ernest, younger brother of George III. AS
they We're idle the latter took them
Ito use FOR their keep''-tiat is, borrowed
them. 1t ought not to be forgot that
some French who aided us took pay from
US.
Soldiers nearly always fight for pay
in fact, the derivation is from word
Which means one who fights for pay.
Gen. Crook hired Indians to fight other
Indians, and so did other commanding
officers of our army, and the Indians SO
employed were permitted TO scalp the dead
of the other side.
