Cavalry to the Genl. & his fellow prisoners; but alas! they are still in prison, starving, rotting, dying! <hr /> Possibly, you can do nothing, and I am troubling you unnecessarily, but still, my action is prompted by a feeling that needs no excusing - a feeling that the brave soldier should not be neglected a single hour by his Govt., nor by his fellow citizens.
