Bill, for why do you still Arp on my
daughter--so to speak 2 there must be some
thing very wrong in your nature. Reckon
you must have lost something, or found a
horseshoe and no horse to hang it on. We
believe you are a very bad Bill, and 30 we
don't want 10 pass you In silence. You write
as If there was something wrong with you
as II there were clouds floating over the mag
nolias and the sunny South generally
Really Bill, we ore surprised.
There never was 80 ungrateful people as
You Southern gentlemen are, and now, after
all has been done for you, to see letters writ
ten by you SO full Of insinuations, Is too
much.
The fault of all this lies with you. 'wernt
you folks most dogoned wicked before this
war; Honest Indian, now, Bill7 Don't
you get proud, and isn't pride sin2--
And didn't you own niggers down there, and
larrup them continually TO raise cotton for
Now EngIsnd nabobs TO spin-sugar to
sweeten our coffee, rice TO eat in our pud-
dings, and tobacco to chew and squirt over
meetin' house floors Answer us, Billi--
And didn't you folks stay down there to at
tend TO your own business a little too close 2
And didn't You have better horses, better
clothes, better houses, finer grounds better
furniture and more land than we had
We are all Christians In the Nortn. We
felt that all these fine things were dragging
your souls down to hell. We didn't want
you to rest in birthstone, being in torment,
90 we tried to corel you In Abrham's
bosom. Abraham Was q great and good
man, who died some time since, as we read
of some where. Ht
And then, Bill, you kept your niggers too
fat. Our factory operatives grew jealous -
And our girls went down there to teach
your girls something and fell in low
with your boys ard forgot to come home
We feel that you were wicked. We didn'i
want to see you 60 to hell All the fine
things you had were leading you away from
salvation, so we sent Butler, and Curtis and
Banks and Washbum and Steele, and How.
ey and Prentiss, and Hurlbut and several o.
the elect of our Christian churches, down
there to win you out of thja jaws of hell by with
drawing your fine furniture, such as pianos
books, pictures, rosewood bedsteads, marble
tables siver-ware, horses, cotton, and all suct
plunder, to place Of safety.
You were wrong to engage in war--very
wrong to do that thing. New England alont
could conquer you. Why Bill, if you had ,
billion of millions Of dollars, and enough Of
nice furniture to furnish all of the houses II
the country, New England could steal It IL
