In reference to this camp there is nothing to be complained of except its imperfect drainage, the non-ventilation of the barracks, and the insufficiency of hospital room. The commanding officer promises to improve the drainage by employing the prisoners for this purpose. The prison fund September 30, 1863, was$4,046. 60. From this a requisition for clothing to the amount of $4,000 has just been made. In the division set apart for the reception of Federal paroled prisoners I found the barracks to be of the same pattern as those for the rebel prisoners. The division is generally in good order, except that for some unexplained reason no sicks are provided, and as a consequence the immediate vicinity of the camp is not in a very good condition as to police. The rear at present at this post but 38 paroled prisoners and 306 men who have been exchanged and are waiting for transportation to their various regiments. I could gain no information in regard to the fund. The hospital in this division will accommodate fifty patients, and is in very good order in all its departments. There are at present no sick in this division. There is no hospital fund, it having been all expended for the use of the hospital. No reliable invoice is kept of property purchased from this fund.
