the purpose of effecting an exchange, and negotiating for peace. It may be so,
and the authorities had good reasons for allowing us to stay here, but how can

negroes wounded, as, indeed, there are wounded among all who come here now. No
news from Hendryx or Lewis. Quite a number going out after wood to cook with
Hot and wet.
