Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
As an instance, we transcribe the following inscription, written in a female hand on the window shutter of a house in Nashville then used by us as a hospital:
' I hope that every officer who enters this house may depart this life in double-quick time; that they may suffer the tortures of ten thousand deaths before they die; and paralyzed be the hand that would alleviate their sufferings, and may the tongue of him who would speak words of com-fort cleave to the roof of his month.
