We heard about that Row but we did not hear of the Home Guards trying to get in the camp by beating down the gate with the butts of their muskets. I am glad you got the marbles yet for they are a very nice to play with when you have nothing to do. You must not forget your promise to send me your picture with your uniform on. \" The letter is in nice condition. The envelope is missing a little strip of paper above the vignette.
