_Burial of Sir John Moore._--You have had many very interesting

communications respecting the justly admired poem on "The Burial of Sir

John Moore." Let me ask whether it was a matter of fact, that they "buried

him darkly at dead of night"? I believe the clergyman who read the service

is now living near Hereford, and that he will state that the interment took

place _in the morning_ after the battle.
