Note 28 — Chapter XIV · THE VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THE WAR.
Reading edition
Mr. Chandler said that during the late war, while he was in Washington, he loaned our soldiers several thousands of dollars, in small sums of from $2 to $10 each, but that the whole amount was repaid to him with the exception of about $10, and he was satisfied that the poor men who owed him that small amount had given their lives for their country.—Hon. M. S. Brewer in the House of Representatives, Jan. 28, 1880.
