More from John Morley
He was a soldier of infinite personal courage and daring; of striking military energy, initiative, and resource; a high, pure, and single character, dwelling much in the region of the unseen.
But we have no right to cast on him any responsibility beyond what is strictly military.
I would use my best endeavours to make these States independent in matters of administration.
Do not weary or fret or nag him with your superior wisdom.
