Old honest Abe we will elect/ the rights of all he will respect / The North and South, the East and West / Till all will praise and call him best..., plus a second letter, 4to (9 in.), also "Charlestown," January 3, 1861, states, We are on the very verge of war, there is no mistaking the time - the rebels and disunionists have been taught to believe that the power of the government would not be used against them, but their eyes will soon be opened. The President (Buchanan) has at last got his back bone up...I hope the President will do his duty...but I don't want any fighting, it will only make the trouble ten times worse. There's no trade now between the north and the south and if there is war it will be a sorry day for all parties concerned...I think the 7th regiment of NY could march there and take the state of S.C alone and unaided..."

[Civil War - Manuscripts] US Civil War Un-conventional Stylings of Dixie 1861 2pp 7.75\'\' x 10\'\'. Dated June 13 1861 titled Dixie Land and inked perpendicular to the text A Copy - Drawn off by - F. M. Bailey Sussex County Virginia. Countless versions of the lyrics to Dan Emmett\'s \'\'Dixie\'\' were written following the song\'s initial popularity in the minstrel shows of the 1850s. The first page of this particular transcription contains commonly seen verses relating to military camp life that were popular among Civil War soldiers (Pork and cabbage in da pot; / It goes in cold and comes out hot;) but the verses on the second page are unusual. An internet and auction records search turned up the lyrics A nigger up in a great big tree; / Lookin right strate down at me; and A nigger in a bushel measure; / Was tickl\'d to death by swallowin\' a feather; in only two sources: a Civil War-era song sheet published by Baltimore bookseller Louis Bonsal and a transcription in the Civil War diary of a soldier of the 7th U.S. Infantry. The man who penned the document offered here could be Pvt. Francis M. Bailey who mustered into the 33rd Virginia Infantry 12 days before it was written and is listed by HDS as having deserted on December 19 of the same year. Condition: Spotting edge wear and some chipping/separation at the lower edge. Text is clear and legible.
