the state furnishes him for mattress, and
dispensed with the use Of pillow but last
Saturday evening there arrived for him by

this city, In which were hair mattress, a
pillow, two sets OF undercothing, three pairs
OF socaS, toothbrush, halrbrush, nailbrush
and comb, two towels, small looking glass
