To the Fatheful: The recent victrys acheevd by our A SAM UV PRAISE! I wuz cast down and trodden under foot. Becoz the wicked wuz exalted, and the saints wuz umbled. Becoz the people worshipt Linkin and spat upon Vallandigum; Becoz the hosts uv Linkin prevailed over the hosts uv Jeff. Therefore my mind wuz troubled, and my sole wuz constipated. And I cast ashes upon my head, and bewailed, sayin: Wo is me. Linkin will agin sit in high places — him and his servance — Ther shel be uv apointments and places uv profit a thousand Our enemies shel hev post-orifises and shel be clothed in
Our food shel be sorrer, and our whisky shel be made weak Thus wept we. But our sorrer wuz turnd to joy and our wailings to gladnis. For Forrest hath smote the niggers at Fort Pillow, and spared And Dick Taylor hez whipt Banks at Red River. And Hoke hez tooken Plymouth, and slayed the defenders And Lee, him who aforetime spiled Micklellan, and Burnside, And he shel take Washinton; and Linkin, and Chase, and Then shel the faithful hev ther rewards, and be happy for For niggers shel be plenty, and evry wun shel hev uv them And the rivers shel be whisky, and the banks thereof sugar, And I shel borrer no more; for, lo! I shel revel upon the And my nose shel shine ez the fire, and my face shel glisten Sing a new song, O my people, for uv late did ye sing small! Make a joyful noise, for yer enemies shel be put under yer Note to the Pastors. — Ef Grant whips Lee, make a fast Paster uv sed Church, in charge.
