My Purpose Is To Make My Narrative

Previous To This Time I Had Never Even A Balloon Except From A Distance. Being Interested In Their Construction, I Was About To Institute A Thorough Examination Of All Its Parts, When The Aeronaut Announced That All Was Ready. He Inquired Whether I Desired To Go Up Alone, Or He Should Accompany Me. My Desire, If Frankly Expressed, Would Have Been Not To Go Up At All; But If I Was To Go, Company Was Certainly Desirable. With An Attempt At Indifference, I Intimated That He Might Go Along.

You Ask Me If I Will Not Be Glad When The Last Battle Is Fought, So Far As The Country Is Concerned I, Of Course, Must Wish For Peace, And Will Be Glad When The War Is Ended, But If I Answer For Myself Alone, I Must Say That I Shall Regret To See The War End.

I Would Be Willing, Yes Glad, To See A Battle Every Day During My Life.
