Deal Gently with the Erring
Robert J. Walker once Mississippi secretary of the Treasury under Polk is cited by a Detroit Tribune correspondent. He urged conciliatory war policy at Willard's, claiming the North blames and must be whipped to end the conflict. A fragment closes with a moral question about a young lady in church and a poetic line on flowers and sunshine.
