A rebel came inside to-day and enquired for me, in the tenth
squad, first mess. I responded, wondering and fearful as to what they should
want with me. Was happily surprised on going to the gate to see Hendryx with
something in his hand for me. Seemed thunderstruck at my appearance and said I
was looking bad. He was looking better than when he went out. Had brought me
luxuries in the shape of ginger bread, onions and tea, and am happy. Geo. is a
brick. Says it is against orders to send anything inside but he talked them
over. Was afraid the raiders would waylay me before reaching the mess but they
did not.
