This is David M. Morris's Oath of Loyalty to the United States. Morris, a 49-year-old resident of Clay County, Missouri, states that during the Civil War he demonstrated his loyalty to the United States Government by "staying at home" and "tending to my own business," as well as "feeding Federal soldiers."
