Wherever you found any commissary store I'll assure you that bar soap was part of the outfitIt was dark when we got to "Burnt Ordinary," 12 miles from Williamsburg and our men and horses were all broken down, The rain began falling in toi rents, it was one of those cold Sipteraber north casters that threw an-o -e into a shiver.

Mature consideration, however, l?as convinced me that this p!a:i would not be entiiely feasible for the reason that if would imply a 'ax upon souie fat triers, no ipa'.t ev how small the nurnter, who wmfid not subscribe tq the. wjsdotXl of nuch taxaiion, or wh on account of their own prosjier- < ous financial c-mditi in, would not need 1 assistance.
