Meat is no longer furnished to any class of our prisoners > except to the few officers in Libby hospital, and all sick or well officers > or privates are now furnished with a very poor article of corn bread in > place of wheat bread, unsuitable diet for hospital patients prostrated with > diarrhea, dysentery and fever, to say nothing of the balance of startling > instances of individual suffering and horrid pictures of death from > protracted sickness and semi-starvation we have had thrust upon our > observation.
