| Summary: | Writes: "Things are rapidly becoming as bad as they can be and the country has before it what may be the worst period yet. A few madmen may do anything. Indeed they are just getting on the pressure gradually. They go from cutting a tree to cutting a railway line, then to firing at a barrack, then to firing at a Lorry, and so on. But God knows I do not want to be worrying you with these things." |
