    [John] Brough’s majority is “glorious to behold.” It is worth a big victory in the field. It is decisive as to the disposition of the people to prosecute the war to the end. My regiment and brigade were both unanimous for Brough [the Union party candidate for governor of Ohio].

    For I have lost the race I never ran,
    A rathe December blights my lagging May;
    Hartley Coleridge (1796–1849)

    Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    The eighth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Eight maids a-milking,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 43–45)
