I am sorry for the trouble you have. But I must hope that all that is to
be got from such good authority as the Allenbys will be got, as to
Winsby. _Slash Lane_ promises very well. From the Allenbys let us be
content to reap Winsby field _only_: as it seems they once farmed it, and
let us get as good an account as possible of the look of the field, Slash
Lane, the records and traditions of the place, and what remains were dug
up, and _exactly where_; for that generally shows where the stress of the
battle was. It is best to keep people to one point: else they wander off
into generalities: as for instance what the Lady tells of War Scythes
hung up in Horncastle Church: which, cruel as Oliver was, we must refer
back to an earlier warfare than his, I doubt. Pray thank Miss
Charlesworth: and believe me yours ever,
