Another long day, merely weary waiting; read a book on
birds. I am improving still, gaining strength. Manage to get milk and eggs and
apples. Wrote Agnes a few lines on scrap of paper. Rain every day now. Get no
news from outside, know nothing of what is going on. I wish our government
could see the suffering that their delay and quibbling about exchange is
causing. Men dying every hour, reproving their government for forgetting them
and letting them lie here. In Georgia it is worse.
