Monday, July 27, 1868 - "For next President we nominate Our own Ulysses Grant!"

This has been a fine day. I was mowing with the Machine to day. We drawed in 65/6 loads of hay to day. Every thing is quiet today. 

For with President Ulysses 
Will be few who care to fight – 
May he rule the country he has saved,
And God defend the right!
So, boys! A final bumper
While we all in chorus chant-
For next President we nominate
Our own Ulysses Grant!
For ‘twas there to our Ulysses
That Lee gave up the fight.[
Now, boys To Grant for President,
And God defend the right!
Ulysses Grant. 1868
