for by all accounts we can lick them all most
two to one for our cause it is just and rest ashured
[councer] we will & must. I gess as quick as the Eurepen
powers hears of the Union Armeys doings for the
month of January & February they will [simer] down
a little about our blockade not being erfective
and they will be like Jeff Davis. He wanted to be
let a lone but instid of the English saying that
they will say I gess we will have to let them a lone.
Enclosed you will find a scrap taking from the Sunday
Murcery if you have not sean that paper it will be
interesting fer you to read. Save it fer me. What dus
Pa & Ma think of me (know big thing that) getting

how humble your position is in my estermatin it is [far]
more honerable in holding a privates position with the

the young chieftan's [plands] cemmence to [shorigh] them
selves, but how meny lives has that battle costed.

I gess. In a little wile Geff Davis will see his
confedersey is falling to peases verry fast if he
has not sean it before this. Oh how must that
man feal and those of his stripe see what ambishun
will lead a man to. Read the flaming speaches
of Cobb & Tumes in Georgia and it is a nuff to make
a man curse the country that he is born in. To
think that such men were born on the same soil
as they wer. Tomorrow if nothing hapent Washingtins
farwell erdress will be read to us by our noble
Colonal. Oh if the people of the south had
ounly headed the father of this country it
