A secesh girl thus writes to her cousin, who is a prisoner at Camp Morton, Indianapolis:

I will be for Jeffdavise till the tenisee river freazes over, and then be for him, and scratch on the ice
     Jeffdavise rides a white horse
Lincoln rides a mule,
     Jeffdavise is a gentleman,
And Lincoln is a fule.
