Nashville, February 8, 1864.
. . . I am delighted to know that my friends both in the
city and country are so kind to you, and also to hear that so many are my friends.
I have ever tried to pursue an upright, honorable course through life, that I
might always be enabled to look those whom I may meet full in the face without
fear of discovering in the countenance or looks of any an expression of “You
have done wrong,” either in my personal treatment of them or in my failure to
discharge my duty, my whole duty to my country to the utmost of my ability. . .
