2604 - L July 23:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, an officer in a Macon,
Georgia prison tells of conditions there. He says that although they
receive some meat, the bread rations have been cut, and that without
money many will suffer. They are encamped in a grove, and the cold
night air from the dew and the cold is making many of the men ill.
"I am almost naked - no hat, no coat, or drawers; pants 'seatless' and - -
boots on last 'tour of duty.'" (4)
