Trouble with my campaign. I am worried about how it may *look* if we christen the lambs but not the fishes. It certainly cannot be right to christen fishes. One can't even *say* "christen fishes." Also, they are already wet, so...?

Letter from Ernest. He is charmed by my campaign and says to "keep up the good work for our country." I suppose that means he must be a revolutionary *for* England rather than against it. I am *so* glad!
