The letter from Colonel Harriman, as reported in Newport News, VA, February 25, 1863, reads in part: "None of our forefathers lived in a period like this. The 'times that tried man's souls' brought no responsibilities comparing, in fearful import, with those cast upon us. It is not wonderful, under these circumstances that differences of opinion exist. Let us be tolerant; but let every man do his duty without fear, favor, or hope of reward. Our country is on the very brink of ruin; let us suppress every thought except the one patriotic desire to benefit and save it."
