Chap. 5
Postscriptum .
I HAD commenced the description of the Battle, which is given in Chap. 3., when MR. SAVERY received a letter from the Rev. SRE. C . WALCOTT, B.D ., Precentor of Chichester ' s Cathedral, stating that though he should be unable to be present on the occasion, he would , if possible, send us a paper : if the promise had been unconditional, I should have been released from a portion of my task , and should simply have endeavored to have familiarised myself with the Field ; but as there was still some uncertainty as to whether the paper would reach us in time, it was thought desirable that I should continue my labors, so that we should be certain of at least having one paper to be read on the appointed day.
