War is at best barbarism.

The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.

I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight place you would come-if alive.

I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.

If nominated, I won't run; If elected, I won't serve.

I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!
