251 - L. Jan. 18; ed: 2/1 - Jeff Davis called upon Pope Pius IX and talked
about peace. Pope Pius replied that Davis should "exert himself and stop
the civil war in the United States, that the people may enjoy peace
together." -
"Jeff will possibly see that this is an invitation to abscond from the
Confederacy, save his neck, fly to Rome and rest under the shadow of the
great toe he kisses with such veneration." - (6)
