Queen Victoria, nor to Washington

here, but to God, who brought
about our meeting, and by so doing
saved us all. Let our little fort

other names to give; but l trust,
friends, we shall have no disputes
about them, for placed as we are,
we need all the help and love we
can give each other. Let us be
strong by being united. Who knows
what dangers yet we may have to
brave, and what sufferings to en-
dure before we see our native land
once more. Let US be one in heart
though five in number, and let us
lay aside all feelings of rivalry.
Such feelings are bad enough at all
times, but among us they would be
doubly wrong. You understand me,
