text_original: France was actually at war with England, and while it would hardly have been fair or even decent conduct to prevent distinguished prisoners of war from keeping up any communication with their families, yet it seemed quite evident that the man who had charge of forwarding or withholding such letters might, if he were so inclined, have allowed much news to be carried to France which ought to have been kept back in the interest of France's greatest enemy, England.
