Edwin Jackson thinks and hopes that the troops will be sent to the South in place of the Minnesota 1st. He implores Bill to get everyone he knows to vote for Lincoln, as he is "stubborn" and the only candidate who can end the war. He waxes poetic on the "God[d]ess of Liberty" looking down upon the country, and tells Bill to visit their friends at home. This folder contains an envelope with two pictures printed on it: the first portrays two Indians with a flag reading "For the Union"; the second consists of one farmer plowing and another riding a horse with "Letoile du Nord" ["The Star of the North"] above them and "Minnesota" below.
