I did not come here to die in a Protestant's war and my family in a Protestant's factory. Well, think about it. I will send a post later. General Sherman has captured Atlanta. They say that Atlanta is the second most strategic place to capture, next to Richmond.
People say that they can almost hear the victory trumpets playing.
The other men in my brigade have brightened in spirit. I hear tell though that other soldiers are setting fire and pillaging the farms in the surrounding area. They do this with the support of their captains. We have not started that yet, but when we do, I will try to get you a little thing or two. I do not know about deserting.
