The soldier must pay his tailor, barber, and tobacco bills out of this amount. The soldier is sworn to protect the United States against all enemies for three years. The government expects the soldier to keep his part of the contract, and has a place for him, with a high wall around it to keep him in if he fails to keep his oath...
