But. your anxiety will be needless, lor tn loli the truth t have hitherto not been treated as a prisoner, but havo received nothing but hive and care for my wounds, which are severe, ond everything is done for me to relieve my pain—in fact, everything that can be done for a wounded man. Therefore, my 'dear ones, respect our enemies. I always had a- great dread of falling into Knglish hands, but now that fate, lias overcome, mo I have learned belter, and I see no trace of anything but tender love on the part of my former enemies. .My food could not be better than it. is, nii.hondi I can eat very little.
