City elders send children clad in white to march to the army, inspiring a decisive victory and symbolic cherry branch gifts. The text wanders through morals, theft anecdotes, and literary musings, then shifts to agrarian notes on Chilean farming, Peruvian war effects, and cattle breeds in Europe and the Americas, with State Department trade and livestock reporting.
