Sunday, September 20, 1868 - "We Can't Surrender Now."

This is a cloudy wet day. W.J.C. There was none of the folks to Church today.
[I shaved to day] 1868. A. Liddle was down to Church to day.

We Can’t Surrender Now.
Then ask us not
To vote for those 
Who held our 
Brave boys back.
When onward
Came the Union’s foes
With desolating track;
We will be 
True to Liberty – 
We cant surrender now!
1868*
