T A7E HAVE word that there is one more * * boat due, after which there is to be no mail received or sent for some months. So I hasten to write this and am very, anx ious to get it off now, hoping with all my heart that you will receive it promptly, and if other letters fail to follow for some time, please do not worry, for it will be on ac count of this rule made Jnecessary by the war.
