Reports on the Battle of Monterey and admits that his romantic ideas of war have been replaced with the harsh realities of battle and death. Writes that all accounts in the newspapers are wrong and that the report written by General Zachary Taylor is probably the most incorrect account circulating. Discusses the embedded journalists and how the Autocrat of Russia never had so loyal a "set of toadies."
