Herbert received them with avidity, and on his way back to the Colonel's tent he examined their superscription. There were three letters all directed to Traverse Rocke. On two of them, he recognized the familiar handwriting of Marah Rocke, on the other he saw the delicate Italian style of a young lady's hand, which he readily believed to be that of Clara.
