Headquarters Army of the Ohio Pulaski, Tennessee, November 14, 1860

Mr. C. S. Pasco Philadelphia PA, Dear sir,

I received your kind and patriotic letter of November 11. Would that all American parents cherished the same kind feelings towards those who are fighting for the preservation of the union. Their children would then be taught to properly prize liberties, which were so clearly brought by our forefathers, and which we are so fiercely struggling to maintain.

Yours very truly J. M. Schofield Major General.

With great wartime CDV of Schofield, back mark E. H. & Anthony.
