Rations two biscuits, half a loaf of corn dodger and two spoonfuls of molasses, for our Christmas present, but I will attend to my box today.

There was a hole under his arm large enough to put your fist in.

It was a relief to a great deal of suffering.

One of my regiment died last night.

The most barbarous country would hardly treat a prisoner thus.

Thinking of our friends at home, enjoying themselves, and the condition we are in.

Christmas Day, 1863, and still in the Confederacy.

There is a great deal of stealing among the prisoners, and starvation is the cause of it all.

Culberson and myself go on watch tonight.

24th. Webb and Gallagher, two of my company, watched my box last night.

Three of us who received boxes got one of the guards to bring us in an armful of wood for us to cook our tea and coffee, and we paid him three dollars in Confederate money, which is equal to thirty cents in our money.

I sent two and they must have received them, or I would not have received the box.

It is very strange I do not get a letter from home.

I must be a little careful with what I eat.

Probably been eating too much.

23d. I don't feel very well this morning.

I think it is the best thing I ever ate.

How I do enjoy to go to my box and take a piece of boiled ham.

I forgot to say I received a ham and two dried beef tongues.

22d. Prison rations I care very little for at present.

If I don't do that, it will be all stolen from me in one night.

And of course I have to pony up with them.

Three or four of us belonging to the one company are going to keep watch over it by turns.

I wish I had enough to give them all some.

Gave some to three or four of the sick boys who are close to me.

How good it tasted.

I had some tea this morning.

Mine is safe.

21st, Some of those that received boxes yesterday had some of the things stolen from them last night.

It came in time for a Christmas present and more appreciated than any I ever received.

My box contained one large sweet cake, tea, coffee and sugar, salt, pepper, writing paper and envelopes, two pairs of drawers and shirts, which I needed badly, stockings and several other things very useful in a place like this.

The other poor fellows gathered around us to see the good things from home.

A happier set of fellows never walked into Pemberton than we, with the boxes.

So I carried the box over to the prison on my shoulder.

He took a book from my box called "The Collegians of Ireland," but I said nothing, for if I did, he would not let me have it at all.

He took everything out that he thought unlawful to pass into our hands.

We had to open them in the presence of the officer and two of the guards.

About twenty of us went over to the quartermaster's storehouse and sure enough the boxes were there.

Oh! how glad I was when I heard that name!

Among the list was my name.

While he was reading off the list, you could have heard a pin drop.

The guards say they will all die as there is no care taken of them after the amputation.

While we were talking, one of the guards came up and said he was on guard at the hospital day before yesterday and was a witness to twelve amputations in four hours, three dying.

The rebel guards say that there are five or six amputations every day now in the hospital, and it gives the young doctors a chance to practice in that line.

Not enough change the last three or four days to mention.

19th. Prison rations about the same.

Всё это ужасно в высшей степени, но мы можем ожидать мало чего.

and what seemed worse than all the rest, was the almost satanic rule that if a prisoner was caught resting his eyes upon the glad scenes of nature through a window, he must be quickly translated from the earth by a ball of a musket. и что, кажется, хуже чем всё остальное, это почти сатанистское пра...
