Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 8. (ed. Frank Moore), Correspondence between General Butler and a feminine secessionist. (search)

Correspondence between General Butler and a feminine secessionist. Locustville, Accomac Co., Va., March 10, 1864. General B. F. Butler: Sir: My school has been closed since Christmas, because, as I understood the oath required of us, I could not conscientiously take it. Having heard since then that one of your officers explains the oath as meaning simply that we consent to the acts of the United States Government, and pledge passive obedience to the same, I take the liberty of addressing this to you to ascertain if you so construe the oath. I cannot understand how a woman can support, protect, and defend the Union, except by speaking or writing in favor of the present war, which I could never do, because my sympathies are with the South. If by those words you understand merely passive submission, I am ready to take the oath, and abide by it sacredly. Very respectfully, Mary S. Graves. headquarters eighteenth army corps, Department of Virginia and North-Carolina, Fortr
