{Manchester,] 11 March 1858 

Dear Moor, 

Herewith something on ‘Beresford’ which I’ve been able to 
abstract from Napier.* I couldn’t find anything about his expedition 
to Buenos Aires at the beginning of the century, but it was a glorious 
one and would be worth investigating. He capitulated, rump aNDstTUMP, 
with the whole English force.” 

‘Billow’ is in HAND. Ditto ‘Cavalry’. Still some particulars to be 
looked up on ‘Bomarsund’. In India there’s another article 
brewing for which I shall be on the qut vive. 

Charras’ Campagne de 1815 is no longer obtainable in Brussels; 
said to be out of print and with no definite prospect of a reprint. 
In other words, Bonaparte has bought the publisher.” If you can 
run to ground a cheap (i. e. not exorbitant) copy in London, I'd 
like you to let me know; just now I’m studying this campaign. 

I suspect that friend Dana is abridging our articles considerably, 
otherwise you couldn't possibly have miscalculated so badly. Go to 
Triibner’s some time and have a look at the Cyclopaedia. 

No news here, except that it’s a ghastly winter; the weather 
changes I don’t know how many times a day. Health very good. 
Am also taking iron. 

Warm regards to your wife and children. 

Your 
F. E.

nothing from their foreign correspondents just now. In today’s
