not want to advise you, but do
think it will be well for you to ap-
point some member or members of
your board to inspect this camp Cnce
a month, or oftener if necessary. 1t
will be a pleasure to me to assist you
in any way that l can. l certainly in
sist that all rules approved by the
governor as to county prisoners be
carried out to the letter, or move the
prisoners. There was another pris-
oner, Pete CASTOR, | believe, who had
his foot slightly mashed, but l don't
think seriously, though his foot was
swollen some. He had been using a
liniment, which will probably be all
right for his wound. l am sending
you q copy Of the rules and regula-
tons as TO the care and maintenance
of county convicts by contractors,
county commissioners. etc. am.
Yours very truly,
JOHN T. LEWIS.
