But though the President and Secretary of War neglected their proper duty, Captain Foster did not remit his efforts.
I found the hotel in a state of commotion, and Felix, who met me in the lobby, exclaimed excitedly: "It has begun, Edmond; we march almost immediately. I am just going to say good-bye to your sister.
