Deqr Brother: am as well a can be ex-
pected after being prisoner two months and
having nothing to eat. ! was exchanged the
z2d Of this month, and . what happy
day it was TO me to get back where | could
get something to eat. | tell you | would
rather be shot dead than be taken again. 1t
is an awful place Our men are starving 10
death aud are so hungry that they almost
eat one another up They don think any
thing of cutting mans throat for his } "a
tons that he draws for day, and that Is OH
ly a halt pint of corn mea! ground up, cob
and all. 1t IS worse than we feed to our hogs
at home, and about two moutbfulls of meat
for days ration. There were about one
hundred and SIXTY dying per day when left
the prison the both Of this month. We had
to form a police to keep the men from mur-
dering one another We hung six men in
one day for murder and found men where
they had murdered th m and cut them up
and buried them in their tent
o brother, | can find words bad enough
to explain the place to you, but | have
thought, if there was such place as hell on
eprth, that place was one OF them, for some
were praying, others preaching and others
damning them for making a noise. Some
were dying, others cursing their Maker
some numbering, others bling-sOme
stealing, others calling for God to help them
and others calling for some one to come and
pray for them
Such place | never want to see again as
long as | live. . | am so weak that | can
write long at a time. Yours truly.
