15th. Quite cool here and feel the loss of my overcoat and boots.

16th. Took the cars this morning for Richmond ; we arrived here at 3. 00 P. M. Men are tired and hungry ;

Marched from depot through the principal streets to the Pemberton building, opposite Libby, got one-fourth pound bread and one-fourth pound of beef; this is the second time we got anything to eat since we were captured.

17th. Rations this morning consisted of about one-half pound of bread and four ounces of beef to each man for the next 24 hours;

men are thinking of home and friends and anxious to be paroled or exchanged.

Talk of moving us to Libby, opposite here.

They say it is a great deal worse than here, but I think it can hardly be any worse than this place.
