Nothing to serve them as well as our people at home… much anguish pain and suffering at home by our people, as well as that of our wounded soldier. This war has, and will, bring distress to every family in the land. May God in his goodness avert the further effusion of the blood of our people by the infernal foe that opposes us… Dr. Johnson goes with me." .
