December 9th.–Spent the day over Mr. Chase’s report, a copy of which he was good enough to send me with a kind note, and went out in the evening with ray head in a state of wild financial confusion, and a general impression that the financial system of England is very unsound.
Mr. Chase’s Report.—William Howard Russell’s Diary.
