Our troops did so well at Sanonys- ride (an account of which you would see in the press) that I should not’ be very much surprised if we were kept here for eometime longer It is evident from the artillery which is being sent to the front that a bombardment of Magersfonteia on a mammoth scale is about to be initiated, apd we of course are of opinion that it is the heyinniog of the end. I have jas: learned that Lord Roberts is going through today in order that he may see the ground of Methuen’s disaster for himee'f, aad fix upoo the next movement of the troope. However, long before you receive this you will bave learned what course he hae pursued.
