Ambrose declares to his cousin once more, "sir I am a Copperhead and a Real yellow one and i hope to god that I will live and di one." He writes again that they expect a draft soon, and continues to profess deep distaste for Lincoln and sympathy for Democrats, lamenting that the "Abolitionists run down [George] McClelland" because "you see he is A Democrat that is the reason that he is Run down." He also wants to know from Abraham "what the people thinks of him [McClellan] in Ohio."
