Can’t help it, gentlemen. Mr. Yerkes has gone for a supply of paper. As the feds are below Vicksburg and crossing may be delayed for weeks, we are bound to reduce our sheet so as to have enough to issue a paper, however small, until he returns with a supply. “Half a loaf,” you know. It is mortifying, but it cannot be helped.
