Quotation from: Lost Continent

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs

"It is awful . . . hundred deaths today . . . worse than the
bombardm . . ."

Nearer the end I picked out the following:

"I promised his maj . . . e will find me here when he ret .
. . alone."

The most legible passage was on the next page:

"Thank God we drove them out. There is not a single . . .
man on British soil today; but at what awful cost. I tried
to persuade Sir Phillip to urge the people to remain. But
they are mad with fear of the Death, and rage at our
enemies. He tells me that the coast cities are packed . . .
waiting to be taken across. What will become of England,
with none left to rebuild her shattered cities!"
