Mr. d. states that the rations for the first
live months consisted of half ration of bread
and about one OF. of meat per day. Some
times ten days would elapse without any
meat whatever, occasionally was added
something called soup. whicl had the APP
pearance of nothing more than dirty water.
Aiterward there was a change OF Superin-
teildcnt who added bread made of corn
meal OF the coarsest kind and nnsftel. He
SAYS that rom what they can learn from
6eorgia the prisoners are treated better
there than at Danville or Richmond.
