Belgians!

I continue. At the conclusion of my
former letter, I had to show in the observing the necessity
I was under in support of my opinion on the as yet
undecided question to come forward with argu matter
which could not but present itself as applying to the
already decided question and in that respect to be irrelevant
I had to show in the way of apology that the
irrelevancy had place only in appearance only for that
my opinion being that the equipment for the situation could

making allusion, all along be, and thus assuming the known existence
