Only one of the men here speaks Swedish, and he does not know very much of the language.

I cannot say, at present, whether the twenty men here are the whole of the band, or whether they are only a portion of it.

Nor do I know whether the men subsist by plundering the peasants, or venture on more serious crimes.

Thanking you for your great kindness during my stay at Warsaw, I remain, yours gratefully-- "Charlie Carstairs." While he was occupied in writing this letter, an animated conversation was going on between the bandits.

Charlie gathered that this related to their future operations, but more than this he could not learn.
