User-Contributed Transcription Midnight Last Night of the Year 1870.How many thousands of families, that were happily united Last New Years' Eve must be suffering tonight. How many homes this war has ruined. How strangely things are situated at the present moment. Paris beseiged by 300,000, Prussians reduced so, that it is said even all the rats + cats have been consumed, + they have eaten the animals of the zooilogical garden. The Pope is shut up in the Vatican, + refused on Christmas to perform service in St. Peters, King William has become Emperor of Germany. Rome belongs to Victor Emanuel! The Duke of Aosta has just been elected king of spain. The Empress is at Chislehurst, + the Ex Emperor at Williamshoe. 350,000, french-men are prisoners in Germany. - France is a republic! This year has gone extremely fast; + yet I am still sick, though much better than twelve months ago. I have spent the last two hours
