Stran 41 - I give you all I can, and act on the presumption that you will do the best you can with what you have, while you continue, ungenerously I think, to assume that I could give you more if I would. I have omitted and shall omit no opportunity to send you reinforcements whenever I possibly can- A.
Stran 63 - Military arrests should not be tolerated, except in places where active hostilities exist, and oaths not required by enactments constitutionally made, should be neither demanded nor received. Military government should be confined to the preservation of public order and the protection of political rights.

I chose the latter.
Stran 67 - Our cause must never be abandoned ; it is the cause of free institutions and self-government. The Constitution and the Union must be preserved, whatever may be the cost in time, treasure, and blood.
Stran 50 - ... commencement of this war, I do now what I never did in my life before : I entreat that this order may be rescinded. " If my counsel does not prevail, I will with a sad heart obey your orders to...
Stran 41 - Beauregard. I shall have to contend against vastly superior odds if these reports be true. But this army will do all in the power of men to hold their position and repulse any attack.
Stran 65 - I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the nation.
