We cannot tell the duration of the war.
We should turn our attention at once to every thing

Not only must be fed at home, but if the war lasts
for some years we may have to be clothed at home
Let mothers wives and sisters prepare to elohe the men
and children.
Such necessary articles negro shoes and clothes,
agricultural implements, negro hats, and considerable
lis, of such things will have to be made at home. The
sooner people turn their attention to them the better
