Anna and his reformed priests. I think the Kentucky boys will play the shaven crowns a sharp game if they lake any of them. God save lh~ mark. My own affairs are going on as well as I can expect, the 11_1111 slops, of course, on muster days, drill days, rejoicing days for victory, &c. but all will soon be quiet, and then we shall reap a fine harvest.
