http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/262554621

In this letter written from St. Martinville to his brother Paul, who managed their father's sugar plantation, DeClouet comments on the Confederate victory at Fort Sumter. He recounts difficulties in raising companies in St. Martinville for service in the state militia and enlistees' statements that they will refuse to leave the parish if their units are so ordered. He also mentions his father's desire for him not to enlist yet and to stay home while DeClouet attends the Confederate Congress in Montgomery, Ala.
