NOTICE TO WHOM 1T MAY
CONCERN.

The following communications
were received by Mr.. Nevaux of
this City from his son Felix Ne
vaux, now stationed at Gettys-
burg, Penn. Some three months
ago 1 accepted this boy and sent
him to New Orleans. 1t will be
noted according to his letters he
is tickled with army life and
would not leave it on a bet. The
army would be good place for
several other New Iber;;, boys ;
it would better their condition in
life mentally and physically.
Many of them here don't seem to
believe me when | talk to them to
persuade them to enlist. They
think I am stringing them.
