Aprašymas

The Night at Chancellorsville: I tell you I didn't have any notion what I was getting into or I wouldn't of gone down there. They can have their army it seems to me they were all a bunch of yella-bellies. But my friend Nell said to me: "Nora, Philly, is as dead as Baltimore and we've got to eat this summer." She just got a letter from a girl that said they were living fine down there in "Ole Virginia." The soldiers were getting big pay-offs and figuring maybe they'd stay there all summer, at least till the Johnny Rebs gave up. They got their pay regular too, and a good clean-looking girl could ask well, I forget now, because, after what happened to us, I guess you can't expect me to remember anything. I've always been used to decent treatment somehow when I meet a man, no matter how fresh he is in the beginning, he comes to respect me in the end, and I've never had things done to me like some girls getting left in a strange town or had my purse stolen.
