Showery.
No war news, though
important events are looked for speedily. It is time. If our coat-tails were
off, we should, in nine cases out of ten, be voted a nation of sans cullottes. We
are already meager and emaciated. Yet I believe there is abundance of clothing
and food, held by the extortioners. The government should wage war upon the
speculators—enemies as mischievous as the Yankees.
