She must have come from Missouri. People are one shade more verdant out here than any place I ever saw before…Yesterday the Secesh prisoners taken by Pope passed down here on the way to St. Louis…The Secesh were in the front part of the train…They appeared to be in good spirits and were as saucy as you please…Altogether, they were as hard a looking set of Christians as you could find anywhere. I was greatly amused at a conversation I heard carried on between a crowd of Iowa 11th boys and a carload of Secesh…Whenever a good sally would be made on either side, all hands would join in the laugh. Here's a specimen. Secesh, 'Damn your Dutch hides, what are you looking at? 'Iowa, 'Aha! there you are where you ought to have been long ago-looking through bars. Wish you a Merry Christmas in St. Louis.' Secesh, 'Thank'ee…Was you at the Springfield Races?' Iowa, 'Yes, been to Boonville?"; cover reduced slightly at left, Very Fine and scarce patriotic use from the Jefferson City.
