The Volunteer's Vision
Manuscripts
This manuscript is a poem written by Dimmick while on board the United States ship "Loo Choo" in the South Pacific Ocean. The poem describes the scene, and speaks, in glowing language, of Dimmick's military involvement as a military volunteer in California. After the poem is a small note from Dimmick addressed to "Friend Pellet", informing him that he is welcome to publish the poem if he is so disposed. Dimmick also asks that a copy of the poem be sent to his wife, and laments that "I have not yet had a single letter from home."
