In what the’ Brigade we are in knows. | We are under the command of Briga- | dier General Smith-Dorrier There | | are feur regiments under him the} Gordon Highlanders, Cornwall Light Infantry the Shropshire Light Infantry and the Canadians. It is pretty hard to tell one regimn' from another ex- pt the Hihl. :ers; they wear kilts with a brown front. I have got some of the Highlander’s badges. The Gordon Highlanders fought alongside of us on the 18th. I got the badges from them. They are the nicest men ef the British army and the best fighters, except ours2!¥es, so Lord Roberts tells us. He addressed us after the attack made on the 27th. You know Cronje surrendered to us. | We all felt bad about Riggs and‘Taylor {and those that were wounded ; but the wounded are getting along all right. Tell the boys McLean and I are fine. We never fell out ef the’ ranks unce en the march, but some of them did and weare all here now. We chased the Boers one day from two in the morning till five in the evening, over hills and through rivers up to your neck in water. We made 24 miles that day ; some days we made 10 miles, some 16, and some 20 miles. We had always to get to water and it toek no small river to water the men and horses. I cannot tell you anything about the | city for I have not been in it yet, but inearly all the boys have been in. Only four men and two non-com’s are | allowed in each day so as to prevent ‘too many men being away at a time. this instance, they were pressed so hard they did not get time to make a stand at Bloemfontein, se the city surrendered without a shot being fired. Under thecircumstances it was the best thing they could do, for we had 170 guns with us, and in case of opposition being offered we could blow the place to pleces in afew hours. We _ hear that President Stevn has moved out with his Gevernment, but we here be- lieve there is no hope for him now. The Free Staters say they aretired of the war and are anxious to return to their homes. Our division is encamped just out- side of Blcemfontein—of which I should like to send youa description | —but only five per cent of the troops are permitted to visit it at a time, and my turn has not come yet. But from what I can see of it from camp it does not appear to be much ofa_ place. We have no idea where we may be sent next, and we may not knew before yeu receive this letter; but several here believe the war will soon end, in which case we hope to be directly on eur way home. In the neighborhood ef Kimberley, and after we had left Belmont, the Boers captured 45 _ provision wagons, and it is said they got 15 more with one of Canadian mail, but there is no certainty of this yet. How- ever, we recovered the first lot togeth- er with nearly all of the enemy’s. While marching here we were sup- plied with only half rations. We had hoped for a change on our arrival, but were disappointed. Everything eatable | There are two companies so it will bea | day or so before my turn comes, I | have no pants fit to visit the city in as | the knees are all eut of them, but we will get new one aS soon as supplies {get here. Then weall get new clothes. We are getting paper and ink te- merrow and then I will write you lots of news about this country. I do not think you need answer this letter for we expect to be on eur way home be- fore you get this, at least that is the opinion of the officers of the regiment. Some of the London Volunteers are getting ready to go home now. fell Walter I will answer his letter to- morrow. Your loving sen, JAMES MATHESON. CONCERT AND SOCIAL.

I feel that this letter would be in- complete without a word of praise fer Father O’Leary. He has marched with us every step of the way frem Bel- mont. and during the fighting at Paardeberg he made himself a very slave in our interests.
