politics & assume this is due to the fact that
you are becoming Americanised but it is a
long way from being all over with Old England
things are not bright. They never where were in the
early stages of an English War. You will remember
The Egyptian Wall the Fall of Khartoum the death
& sacrifice of General Gordon. The South African
War with its Tugela Disaster Magersfontein etc.
but the end has always being been the same. The
resources of England are such that whatever the
result of the Land Campaign & the ultimate result
of this will be in the Allies favour. The economic

the enemy's trade & commerce & in a substantial
degree its effect on the Trade of the world in general
will be such that a more favourable result is
assured than one might feel disposed to assume
from the present position of the armies on the various
frontiers. I cannot give you any details of the preparation
on this side though these are enormous & much of
what you are doing on yours is brought to notice through
one source or another. I note that the Baldwin
Locomotive Works have in hand or completed an order for
320 Locomotives & Further order for 80 went to Canada.
