Sir I beg leave to call your attention for a few minutes to a few lines that I take the liberty to write you We are now liveing in a cricis that thatens to blot our long Boasted Government out of existence, we are in the midst of Rebels and traitors, whose combined efforts rack this Government from center to circumfrence. There are traitors in the South in open Reblion. and there is trators here like the snake in the grass. There is men in this section of the country who are sympathizers with the South and claim to be loyal men but <hr /> are opposed to the Draft and say that if they must fight that they will fight at home. Now in times like this there can be no rideing the fence. A man must be on one side or the other. There is but two classes one for the Union and the other against it, There is a strong proberbility of the draft takeing place ere long, and many tremble with alarm. But before the draft goes into effect I think some of the Volenteers had better be looked up I known of persons that enlisted and got the county bounty and twenty five $25 of the Government bounty and one monthy pay. and then came home sick and they are here yet and able to work and look as hardy as man could wish and you talk with them and they will tell you <hr /> that they are not going back into the ranks but say they are not discharged or wish to be and they say that they have no furlough. Now what is to be done with such men, are they to be suffered to remain at home, and oblige others to be drafted I hop not I that they ought to be looked up. I have consulted some men in regard to such persons and have got no exact decision and I thought I would ask of you, who I could report such persons to. that their case may be considered and either be discharged or return to the ranks. there are many in our ranks, that went for the sake of the bounty. and I was one that helped to pay the county Bounty and at the same time I thought that it was a wrong move, but the majority rules and so I payed the tax <hr /> Mar 1,1863 I think that if the last 300000 men had been Drafted that it would have put truer men in the field, because there was to much money at stake they went and Enlisted for the mighty Dollar not to Defend our Stars and Stripes.
