This is Robert Walker's Oath of Loyalty to the United States. Walker describes himself as a 64-year-old resident of Clay County, Missouri who was born in Kentucky. He states that he demonstrated his loyalty to the United States Government during the Civil War by "staying at home and attending to my business and advising my boys not to go South."
