battle for the preservation Of our glorious

extend the area Of freedom, will return to
US with mangled limbs, and shattered

remaining perioai Of their existence here
To such can we refuse ii 'hrisfiau well

that value, the donor of the original docu-
ment has engr we'd and copv-righted n
perfect fac similc of the Manuscript, and
also OF the Presidents autograph letter,
the whole forming a large and beautiful
engraving. Ornamrnted with a portait of
Abraham Lincoln. Thus for the petty
sum of two dollars (S2), every loyal citizen
can procure this document of enduring
value, and at the same time aid in the
erection and maintenance of a permanent

smile, pronounced it "a faithful and cor
rect copy" ofthe original manuscript writ

under the auspices of the Soldiers Home,
Is the only one that Is genuine Is any
appeal necessary to your humanity or
Your Christian sympathy? We trust no.
We believe that all who love their country
