Again the Cadets and Home Guard are summoned out; they
started yesterday; and Mr. P. went early this morning. It is a cold raw day,
and they will find marching and bivouacing in the open air very disagreeable.
The reports are that the enemy is advancing upon the Valley from four different
points. When will these alarms cease? I am in despair about the war.
