Sir,

I see where you will be coming to March through Florida next year. I should be back from this blessed deployment by then, and would like very much for you to come to my hometown of Starke. It is about 45 miles southwest of Jacksonville and I can make arraingments for you to rest there. Please let me know if you can fit this into your busy schedule.

"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me." He added, after a pause, looking me full in the face: "That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave"
