McLaws's Civilian Careers
"I really do not know what would suit me, except and army life — do not know that I am fit for anything else. But my inclinations are certainly in favor of a farmers life or at least to have my children brought up that way. . . . Have no money to keep a store. Am good enough to be a preacher but could not preach. Might be a clerk in a dry goods store. Might invent something and get a patent .
 
What can we do my dear Emily when we leave the army? do propose something." (1)  
(1) LM to ETM, February 2, 1863, ASG, 169-170.
