Doc, I know how you feel and I can guess how the good rebels feel. Oh how good they are getting. God damn them - the devil never will get his own until he gets every damn rebel that now lives. Some of them are going to get their just desserts here in Washington before the Military Commission that is now in sesseion trying (8) eight of our late President assassinators. The last one of them will be hung...As for the new Constitution, I am in for it my whole length, and I think it will be carried with a large majority.
