No rations issued yesterday to any of the prisoners and a
third of all here are on the very point of starvation. Lieut. Bossieux
sympathizes with us in word but says it is impossible to help it as they have
not the food for us. This is perhaps true as regards edibles but there is no
excuse for our receiving such small supplies of wood. They could give us plenty
of shelter, plenty of wood and conveniences we do not now get if they felt so
disposed.
