- In regard to the treatment we received
at Owensboro': Mr., Jones knows he lies
when he says, that "when we left the
courthouse for Panther Creek there was
half a wagon-load of bakers bread. "
Not knowing how long we would be kept
in the brush, / left the ranks to get some
thing to take along with me to eat, and
there was not one loaf Of bread on the
table, and we were furnished only one
ham (and that raw) to feed two hundred
men. The ham and bakers bread were
brought from Meters camp, and some
Germans sent us one halfbarrel OF
crackers and cheese. And, besides
this, not as many as six citizens OF
Owensboro' came to, the courthouse to
welcome u.s., 1t was different when you
came to Owensboro' We had driven the
enemy away, the danger was removed,
and the citizens were not afraid to well
come and feed YOU. They can plead no
excuse; for what few came were appealed
to, to send us some buckets and a negro
boy to keep US in water, and even that
was refused. Mr. Jones's only reason
for defending the want of hospitality CT
the Owensboro people, is to give vent to
his spleen against your correspondent;
