Had the honor (?) of seeing Jefferson Davis again and part
of his congress to-day. They visited Libby and we were allowed to look out of
the windows to see them as they passed in and out of the building. Strut around
like chickens with frozen feet. David Benjamin walked with the President and is
a much better looking man. Prisoners were notified that if they made any
insulting remarks they would be fired at. Have no more exalted opinion of them
than before.
