I Have Thought From The Time Of The Cessation Of The Hostilities, That Silence And Patience On The Part Of The South Was The True Course; And I Think So Still. Controversy Of All Kinds Will, In My Opinion, Only Serve To Continue Excitement And Passion, And Will Prevent The Public Mind From The Acknowledgement And Acceptance Of The Truth.

History Teaches Us Hope.

I Endeavored To Give Thanks To Our Heavenly Father For All His Mercies To Me, For His Preservation Of Me Through All The Dangers I Have Passed, And All The Blessings Which He Has Bestowed Upon Me, For I Know I Fall Far Short Of My Obligations

I Am As Willing To Serve Now As In The Beginning In Any Capacity And At Any Post Where I Can Do Good. The Lower The Position, The More Suitable To My Ability And The More Agreeable To My Feelings.
