Octavius Hadfield
[extract from letter written by Octavius Hadfield]
I cannot guess what will happen in France. I don't think the new ministry will last a month. Men finding themselves in the freedom that is supposed to exist under the republic will never condone the action of the great staff officers in the Dreyfus affair. Zola is not likely to be quiet after the victory he has obtained in getting the first Court Martial upset.
