you welcomed me on my return and have
greeted me on every occasion.
But you are called upon to Confirm these
sentiments by your actions. Much vet re.

the example of the brave Prussians. and all
the Germans OF the already delivered coun.
t'cS, unite your eXertionS with theirs for the

Hasten. therefore, into the ranks of those
who contend for that great object repair
with alacrity to the standards, to prove by
your hrmness and courage, under the conc
