A True Woman Always Loves

Fortune Has Played Me A Sad Trick By Letting Me Live On And On.

Politically I Did Not Like Mr. Lincoln For In Him I Saw The Destroyer.

If It Is A Crime To Love The South, Its Cause And Its President, Then I Am A Criminal. I Would Rather Lie Down In This Prison And Die Than Leave It Owing Allegiance To A Government Such As Yours.

Just Previous To The Birth Of My Little Son, My Mind Gave Way And My Child Was Born In The Asylum For The Insane At Stockton, Cal. My Boy Was Buried There.

I Hope That When I Commence That Oath, My Tongue May Cleave To The Roof Of My Mouth. If I Ever Sign One Line To Show Allegiance, I Hope My Arm Falls Paralyzed To My Side....get Out. I'm So Disgusted I Can't Endure Your Presence Any Longer.
