For God,s sake, stand by the proclamation-- No taking back, show the people you intend to stand firm by any policy you may adopt & the people will stand by you
The Good men of Kentucky will stand by you in every effort to crush the rebellion, and if you will let the political jugglers know they have to toe the mark, they will sink & come too
Green Adams
