Fer instance: I got up in the wee hours to use the piss pot, which was down at the other end
of our prison; as I trod carefully on the casemate floors through the snoring, I could just make
out the piss pot and the sentry outside the bars, the candle at that end must have expired or
been extinguished. I said a few friendly words to the Billy there, we talked in hushed tones
a short time, and I bide him good night. "Wait!" he said, and "Here, take these!" I came over
by the bars, and two cooked, warm small sweet taters were pressed into my hands. I was
so surprized, I don't remember if I thanked him. I never saw the face of the friend who fed me
and my pards. If I neglected to thank him then, I would like to do so now.
And this was just one incident in a full weekend. It doesn't get any better than this.Your most obedient servant and comrade,
