excepting only those who have been twice convicted of desertion. Finally, I conjure my countrywomen, the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the Confederacy--to use their all-powerful influence in aid of this call, to add one crowning sacrifice to those which their patriotism has so freely and constantly afforded on their country's altar, and to take care that none who owe service in the field shall be sheltered at home from the disgrace of having deserted their duty to their families, to their country, and to their God. seal.

To meet those emergencies I have endeavored, under yo
