I do not know much about Latin, certainly, and it is, perhaps, an ornamental language, but not very useful, I think at least to judge from the bits I remember out of the rector's letters.

On the night of the 20th, the Yankees were on Peachtree creek, advancing toward Atlanta. I was a videt that night, on the outpost of the army.
