notable phrase
I yesterday began to bring forward my own evidences
...I owe to myself not to think of attacking in any manner Captain Bruff because the issue must be the loss of one or the other's commission
we experience severely the want of a surgeon notwithstanding the attention paid to the sick by the doctors of the British troops who have again attended in consequence of the illness of Dr. Muirhead
