It notes soldiers’ ballots in camps, likening Lincoln to a comrade and calling for steadfast union. The piece transitions to Eldora fire protection praise urging credit from rating bureaus and lower insurance rates, arguing for solid fire protection. The fragment ends with a faded line about a pile of mud.
