To-day M. P. and myself went to Winchester, and thence to
the camp. We took Mr. P. N's children to see their father. There we saw W. B.,
J. M. G., and many other young friends, and were much pleased at their
cheerfulness. They look sunburnt and soldierly. I returned to Winchester to see
my dear S. S. R. C. was sitting with
her, looking well and happy. Camp-life agrees with him. These poor boys expect
to be ordered to Romney; but wherever they go, they hope, by God's help, to
repel the invaders.
