An Infidel’s “ P ro v id e n tia l" E s­
cape.
E ditor T orch of R eason :
Enclosed tìnti $1, for which
please renew my subscription to
the Torch of Reason for one year.
I would have renewed before this
time, but I only returned from
Porto Rico on Sunday last. I en­
listed in the Eleventh Regiment on
Ju n e 14th, landed on the island
August 3d and left May 3d. I was
in one battle and saw a great m any
hardships for some time, hut I
never was wounded nor on the sick
report during the whole period of
my enlistm ent, which I consider
very fortunate. I t is ra th e r strange
th a t a wicked Infidel should havej
such good luck, is it not?
