Eight months a prisoner to-day. A lifetime has been crowded
into these eight months. No rations at all. Am now a hair cutter. Have hired
the shears. Enough to eat but not the right kind. Scurvy putting in its
work, and symptoms of dropsy. Saw Hendryx at the bake house up stairs window,
looking over the camp. , Probably looking to see if he can locate his old
comrades among the sea of human beings. Wirtz comes inside no more, in fact,
does very few rebels. The place is too bad for them.
