will say that can't see any necessity for it i don't
that we are benefited By it equally to the injury and in
do think and verify believe that it has injured US abroad
than any thing that has taken place since the
war began. is bold assertion coming from the head
of our government that there is disoyay and dsuuon
among u.s. whether not to say the very least it.
the very itself coming from the head of our
government is enough to shake the confidence of all for.
fhoir

Stephens and Gov Brown of Georgia. and feel that am
right when endorse it.
am in favor Of reorganization of the army by the
soldiers elecng their officers havnt to give you
my views inu this subject but suffice it to say that
there no part justice to the private soldiers the
present organization. Men have been drafted and con.
scrbed carried the army, and deprived of the priv
ege of making choice of company and regiment much less
70 have the privilege Of eecting their officers Can
confidence in his commander! Surely not Then say
give them the chance to elect their officers II they
like their present commanders let them reeleet them
not give them the chance to do have before
out their rannca leaders and elect good men, Isthes
anything wrong sboutithis. think not But do think
pect every stand to his post at any and all times
spd if possible We will SOON hear Of more victories and
greater success than we have ever had.
am an ardent supporter Of ". ". Holden for Cover
nor and if my notions do not change shall give him my
influence to elect him for next Governor
You will doubtless be glad to know what has kept me
out OF the army am proud that can say to you that
it is not BY having shade Office but it is the account
Of disability, certificate of which have carried in my
