Too much exertion to even write in my diary. Talk of getting
away by escaping, but find no feasible plan. Rebs very watchful. Some mail
to-day but nothing for me. Saw some papers, and a new prisoner brought with him
a New York paper, but not a word in it about “exchange.” Am still outside most
every day. Geo. Hendryx at work in the cook house cooking rations for the
prisoners. Comes down where I am every day and hands me something to take
inside for the boys. He tells the Lieut, he has a brother inside that he is
feeding. Although it is against orders, Lieut. Bossieux pays no attention to
it.
