McCully's experiences were his experiences.
He was glad that one live Yank had come out
Of the brush and told what they had to endure
in those days. He does not think that the ex-
prisoners are getting pensions according to the
services rendered 70 the country. The writer
received 81 a month, and would like some COM

rule are rated so low, while the man who stayed
in the rear takes the cake every time in this
respect. He would like to hear from any An
Jacksonville prisoners.
