More from the Maverick letters
p.42 Samuel Maverick, in Austin, to wife Mary, February 19, 1862
A deplorable, lazy letter was rec'd 2 days ago by the Gov by Dr. Boring, giving a deplorable account of the men being demoralized by reason of their wives writing that they & the children were starving &c &c &c. The Methodists in McCulloch's army are too gloomy & they are a little grave, wrathful & savage in their prayers to the God of battles, & the Dr. has the dyspepsia.
