7. Do you draw rations regularly or not?

I draw regularly with few exceptions.

8. What is the quality of the rations drawn?

Generally good; meal inferior for bread and beef heavy for size of piece.

9. How do the number of rations ordered compare with the number of men reported by you "for duty" and 'sick in quarters?"

Generally exact; when there is a deviation it is owing to mistake or to men changing quarters.

10. Is there, to your knowledge, any defect in the amount of rations issued by the post commissary, taking the order as a basis?

Having no position means of determining, I could not say with certainty; there seems to be plenty allowance for waste. I rely on the honor of the gentleman in charge to do justice to prisoners.

11. Do your men receive prompt medical attendance when reported sick?

They do; Dr. Pettus seems untiring; prescriptions are promptly filled.

They frequently lack from 20 to 25 per cent, of holding out, by my hand balances, but I do not know that they are correct.
