that he ought to go II you had one.
You have got some dollars, why don't
you send them?
Think again; If you have sent q boy
over there, don't you know for GER

God grant that he may. But he went,
just the same. knowing fully just as
YOU did that he mig'.t not come back.
You gave the dearest thing you had in
