ludicrous slip I have written Wilson throughout instead of Inglis; 
perhaps you would alter this as there’s no time to do so now. 

I shall do a few more C’s for Tuesday, and finish ‘Cavalry’, 
which should make a good article and also be somewhat longer. 

Apropos, have you done ‘Coehoorn’ (Baron)? If not I have 
some excellent material. 

NB. I’ve no material whatever on ‘Catapults—there should be 
something in Ersch and Gruber.‘ 

The Lucknow garrison’s greatest act of heroism consisted in the 
fact THAT THEY HAD TO FACE EVERY DAY THE ‘COARSE BEEF’ COOKED BY THE LADIES,

News has something on Windham, but not enough. 

Kindest regards to your wife and children. 

Your 
F. E.

much in quantity as in kind.
