A plague upon all dull, prosy, gloomy,
ill-foreboding, bemoaning letters, when
sent to man wearing the Union blue y

the doings at and about home, bearing
good will towards all men, and recounting
the labors of the provost marshals and
their crippled soldiers with all skulkers
from the service. Only such letter is
worthy to be sent to Union soldier He
knows his danger, knows his labor and
privations, and wishes not to have them
morosely recounted, for he lives rejoicing
in the hope of the final triumph of his
country.
