A lengthy, opinionated piece laments a former classmate now a Confederate officer, praising his sincerity, candor, and neighborly virtue while humorously wishing him a quiet role as a cook. It critiques political schemes, discusses conscription, and critiques state actions during the Civil War era. It also quotes Raleigh Standard and New York Tribune items on North Carolina sentiment and military leaders.
