 Pat What am I to do with the Nagers?
Yank Look here, mister; I guess any one who places himself under the
Starry Banner of the free, will have to work, out of the ranks and in the ranks,
for that blessed privilege—'specially if he's a nigger. You must cum down on
these contrabands-like-a-hull team, and make 'em dig and drill. Butler and
Banks and the rest of the Generals have sed it, and more than all, Old Abe has
swore it. Guess-sum of the darkies wish themselves to hum; but they wont git
there till they do their duty to their new masters.
