I do not know but
that I have the blues to-day. However that may be, it is sad to contemplate the
selfishness of our officers. When I witness the political manœuvreing here, the
conducting affairs for political effect at home, I am almost inclined to
believe our war a humbug, and our Government a failure. I must not talk this,
but I must not forget it.
