For myself individually, I commit my life to Him that made me; and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully!
Pagina 50 - my plan of attack, as far as a man dare venture to guess at the very uncertain position the enemy may be found in: but it is to place you perfectly at ease respecting my intentions, and to give full scope to your judgment for carrying them into effect.
