done it until the end of the war? Still it is a merit; so many of my comrades have even done so little! Here I shall stop this letter as you have many more important occupations than to read my lucubrations. Nevertheless I wish you allow me to write to you again; I wish also to receive from time to time some good news about the 9th Brigade and its General; nothing can make me more pleased. With luck and best wishes, I remain, dear Sir, your respectful and grateful servant.
