Diary of 1st Sergeant John L. Ransom: September 27, 1864

Getting so I can eat a little and like the gruel Have prided myself all during the imprisonment on keeping a stiff upper lip while I saw big strong men crying like children; cruelty and privations would never make me cry — always so mad, but now it is different and weaken a little sometimes all to myself. Land, my sick comrade, writes at my dictation.
