Their intelligence on European questions seems much better than ours and they depress me by expressing doubts as to whether the Grand Duke Nicholas has munitions enough to make further headway against the Turks in the Caucasus: also, as to whether he has even stuff enough to equip Istomine and my rather visionary Army Corps.
Our first step won't have the weight behind it we had permitted ourselves for some hours to hope. Everywhere the first is the step that counts but nowhere more so than in an Oriental War. Now that the French Division has been snuffed out, how about the Grand Duke Nicholas, General Istomine and their Russian Divisions? Are they also to prove phantoms?
A cable in from the Foreign Office telling me that the Russian part of my force consists of a complete Army Corps under General Istomine evidently War and Foreign Offices still work in watertight compartments! Left Alexandria last night at 11 and came into Port Said at dawn.
