The most barbarous country would hardly treat a prisoner thus.

It was a relief to a great deal of suffering.

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

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.

The Richmond papers state that the stench from the prison is endangering the health and the lives of all in the City, and it would be well to remove these "Lincoln hirelings" to where scant fare and cold weather would reduce them in number; consequently we will be removed to Bell Isle.

Os jornais de Richmond afirmam que o fedor da prisão está pondo em perigo a saúde e a vida de todos na cidade, e seria bom remover esses "mercenários de Lincoln" para onde a escassez de comida e o frio os reduziriam em número; conseqüentemente, seremos removidos para a Ilha Bell.
