Summary
Sending her the proof of her article and noting that he has marked with an "x" those elements of the text, anecdotal in nature or based on her own observations, to indicate that they will be more welcome to their English readership, and explaining the need for clarity and accessability when writing for the public; pointing out that he has marked one passage with a query "as likely to raise the objection that the common Frenchman is more of a ready made soldier than the Englishman more ready to take up arms etc."
