“The hour is fast approaching, on which the Honor and Success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding Country depend.

He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven."
