_3d day, 5th mo. 31st._ Weather as hot as ever. Was at the stockade where the rebels throw over their produce. Greenbacks are worth twice as much as "scrip." Peas, beans, tobacco, onions, turnips, eggs, cakes, groundnuts, &c., &c., are passed over in large quantities and sold at enormous prices. My disease seems worse and I am getting weak. _4th day, 6th mo. 1st._ Was cloudy until the middle of the day, then had a heavy thunder-storm, and a little rain now and then until evening. I lay in the house most of the day--was very weak. We made some burnt corn bread crust coffee this morning. There were about four hundred more prisoners put in here to-day; none of them from the Potomac Army. _5th day, 6th mo. 2d._ This was the same kind of a day as yesterday, with more rain. Borrowed the "Banner of Light" from Dr. Buckley this afternoon. _6th day, 6th mo. 3d._ Was cloudy until towards sundown, when there came up a heavy wind, followed by rain. The day was very warm. More prisoners put in to-day, mostly sick and wounded, captured when we were. The place is getting crowded full. Diarrhoea no better. _7th day, 6th mo. 4th._ Had a good deal of rain. I lay in the house. Two hundred more men came in to-day. There were a great many rumors about us being paroled or exchanged on the sixth. We split up the last of our wood with a musket screw-driver, and traded some corn bread for another stick. _1st day, 6th mo. 5th._ Had a great deal of rain. Drew one and a half pints of corn meal and a half teaspoonful of salt instead of bread. _2d day, 6th mo. 6th._ I am very weak. Same rations as yesterday. Cloudy all day with some rain. Made souse of the last of our crackers. More prisoners put in to-day--the place is over crowded. _3d day, 6th mo. 7th._ Had considerable rain. Made a pot of mush which we ate with our meat to-day. About five hundred more prisoners were put in to-day. _4th day, 6th mo. 8th._ Rain to-day, same as yesterday. A few more prisoners put in here. I undertook to make a pot of mush this morning; got it about done, when the jaw bone of a hog, which I had the pot resting on, gave way, and upset the half of it. We made a small breakfast on the remainder. This evening we mixed up some meal and baked some cakes on my plate. Our wood is nearly out. We get corn meal and pork, but are not allowed to go out for wood, and as yet have had none sent to us. My complaint gets no worse, but still sticks to me. Can get no news that can be relied upon. _5th day, 6th mo. 9th._ Drew corn bread and had a heavy shower. _6th day, 6th mo. 10th._ Was rather warm. Drew bread, meat and wood. Made coffee for breakfast and supper. Commenced making a bone ring. _7th day, 6th mo. 11th._ Was warm, with a thunder-gust in the evening. We got to work and finished the bone ring.
