No. VI.
Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Innes
to Lieutenant Spankie.
My dear Sir,
I believe I forgot to remark, that your situation and Lieutenant Fennick's are very different now. Under existing circumstances it was equally proper for him to decline accepting of the quarter-mastership, as it is absolutely proper and necessary that you should accede to the General's wishes, to serve a whole regiment. Think of this.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. INNES.
