Vols…you spoke of the 15 [Conn.] reg. coming down here…what do the folks think about the war at the north…they will have to come yet…why don't you go and fight like a man for the stars and stripes and for your country…at home there is plenty of young men that because they have got a sick father they cant go…that shows what their patriotism is…there is 7 monitors here. They are going to be something done before long to Charleston…". The original stamped transmittal cover is included. VG
