Hendryx sent me in to-day from the outside a dozen small
onions and some green tea No person, on
suddenly being lifted from the lowest depths of misery to peace and plenty, and
all that money could buy, could feel more joyous or grateful than myself for those
things. As the articles were handed in through the gate a crowd saw the
transaction, and it was soon known that I had a friend on the outside who sent
me in extras, I learn that a conspiracy is being gotten up on the outside, in
which Hendryx is at the head, and they will try and overpower the guard and
release the prisoners. If Capt. Wirtz only knew it, he has a very dangerous man
in George Hendryx. cram full of adventure, he will be heard from wherever he
is.
