Excerpt from War Papers, Vol. 1: Read Before the Commandery of the State of Wisconsin, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States
When at last the proof sheets of a volume have been read and all that properly remains is the binding, there lingers in the breast of many a writer the longing to have one more word with his pros pective reader. Just in like measure, now that the volume of the Commandery of the State of Wisconsin promised to its companions of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States is to receive its final touches at the hands of the publisher, there is pause for that pet weakness of authorcraft.
