Title
Misled by the Advice of a Gentleman
Description
Pfeiffer explains the fact that he overstepped the limits prescribed to officers as to the amount of baggage and stores allowed to go free. He was misled by the advice of a gentleman who has long been in the Army and ought to have known better. He advised Pfeiffer to lay in as large a quantity of stores as possible. He will be glad to pay the carriage himself for any small parcels that have yet to be sent.
