to editors. He offered TO fill Mr..
Sheldon's pastorate during the week
in March that the minister will be

was beaten. His troops crowded back

attacking them that night. The fear
was mistaking enemies in the dark.

Jackson asked him how much white

for any wounded naming the amount.
Jackson SAID it was too little for his
purpose, which was to tie q yard to

attack the enemy. If there had been
