I have no small talk and Peel has no manners.
Believe me that every man you see in a military uniform is not a hero.
If you had seen one day of war, you would pray to God that you would never see another.
I have seen their backs before.
My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.
Publish and be damned.
