Good advice.

--Do not forget your brave defenders. Send them comforts while in camp as an assurance of appreciation on your part While he is absent in the field take care of his family if they need your assistance. Exert your hands and spend your substance in helping those who peril their all for your honor. Should they fall in battle, remember the widow and orphan. If you faithfully remember and act on the advice above given, then, in the words of A. H. Stephens, ‘"God will bless you in such noble performance of a patriotic duty."’
