The rest of the letter Is personal.
However. what is given above is suffi-
Gent to give the reader some clearer
ideas of the war than he has ever had
before. He sees all the ignorance of
the authorities, the tiresomeness of the
struggle and the persistence, numbers
and shrewdness of the Beers. He sees
how well provided they are with food.
and how they manage to be so, and you
may take my word for IL that they are
even better off for horses and ammuni-

there may be something in yesterdays
news that England is modifying all her
volunteers.
What the reader does not see is
where the war will end. Reggie
wants to find that out as much as any
one does.

is the meat of full volume.
