ABSTRACT

As intimated in the last number of the Thistle, I cannot draw these rambling recollections to a close without making reference to another class attached to, or following the Regiment, when I joined it, that is the poor women who had the misfortune to be married without leave; and here let me observe, that the man who married a girl without leave at the time I write of, must have had unlimited faith in the bounty of Providence, or been utterly regardless of consequences, one or other.
