A very interesting and informative narrative. &nbsp;As you'll see, I had a few concerns. &nbsp;One was your reporting of the Enfield cartridges being coated with animal fat as fact rather than rumor. &nbsp;Another had to do with the material in italics. &nbsp;At first, I assumed that wach such paragraph was a quotation (since the first two were). &nbsp;If the others are using italics only for emphasis, my apologies for the constant suggestions to "source this."<br /><br />I hope we can do business again sometime. &nbsp;Meanwhile, if you like my work please consider rating me on the Editorworld web site. &nbsp;Every good rating helps.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />J.
