Yes, the Elliott outbreak is regrettable. It
succeeded alas in throwing out the Army

Act. Not that upon the latter I had

strong feelings. Its inclusion was a matter

rather of form & made upon legal

advice.

I do not mind greatly Elliott's

personal attacks upon me altho'

truth to tell for Auld Lang Syne I
kept the loss of his friendship. His

method of attacking me through

others however is despicable -

and makes "Murder in my heart".
